Flying faster


Over the past week, I've had a pretty hectic schedule; last week in Singapore and earlier this week in Switzerland. Both trips take about 6 1/2 hours. We haven't really improved on this for the past 40 years; planes are safer and more fuel efficient but they don't go any faster. I believe that will be the next big thing in civil aviation: the next generation Concorde. No reason why I couldn't do Dubai - Geneva in 2 hours in 20 years time! In the meantime, I'll enjoy the inflight entertainment...

Why so slow? 2 Hours from Dubai to Geneva? In twenty years flights will be taking place in space!
