SST (Supersonic Transport) refers to high-speed passenger jets like the Concorde, capable of flying faster than sound (Mach 1). Developed in the 1960s–70s, these aircraft drastically cut transatlantic flight times. The Concorde, the most famous SST, flew from 1976 to 2003. Though fast and iconic, SSTs were costly, noisy, and fuel-hungry, leading to their retirement.
