TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Japan's space agency plans to launch an arrow-shaped airplane at twice the speed of sound high over the Australian outback as early as next month in a crucial test of the country's push to develop a supersonic successor to the retired Concorde.

The test follows a three-year hiatus since the first experimental flight of the unmanned aircraft, dubbed the next-generation supersonic transport, prematurely separated from its booster rocket and crashed into the desert.

sources say the flight will still be cheaper than an Internext Pass

no kidding - not sure how I would feel knowing all that fuel was sitting under me, the aftermath of an accident would be alot greater than todays planes. Not too mention hitting a goose at supersonic speeds LOL
