10) Please mark the issues that you believe have the GREATEST challenges associated with developing commercial high-speed vehicles
Regulatory – certification, insurability, overland flight ban
Vehicle Operational – integration into the NAS, maintainability, and reusability
Powerplant-economy and sustainability
Meeting environmental standards – (fuel burn, noise, sonic boom)
Safety standards – reliability, passenger comfort / experience
Commercial viability (high-cost, highly capital-intensive driver will negatively impact profitability)
Demand – market size and demand
11) Please mark the issues that you believe have the LOWEST challenges associated with developing commercial high-speed vehicles
Regulatory – certification, insurability, overland flight ban
Vehicle Operational – integration into the NAS, maintainability, and reusability
Powerplant-economy and sustainability
Meeting environmental standards – (fuel burn, noise, sonic boom)
Safety standards – reliability, passenger comfort / experience
Commercial viability (high-cost, highly capital-intensive driver will negatively impact profitability)
Demand – market size and demand
12) Which regulatory body shall oversee international Point to Point High Speed Flight?
Consortium FAA-EASA and others
New international regulatory platform
Continue with oversight of ICAO, UNOOSA-COPUOS
