Abstract
(type = abstract)
The study of technological development and technopolitics is complex. The history of the three supersonic commercial transports, or SST, developed and built in the 1960s exemplifies this complexity. The history of the SST shows a degree of complexity in terms of interaction with involved societies, and is quite unlike other contemporary developments in technology. It impacted societies around the world, created new sectors of industry, damaged economies of major nations, and helped the science of environmentalism gain traction. A study of this history was completed by analyzing various authors reporting on the events as they occurred, documentation from the companies designing the planes, newspapers and journal articles from the relevant time periods about the planes, as well as government documents about their continued involvement in funding such efforts. A careful study of these sources reveals the unique nature of SST development. Its very presence changed both governments and individuals alike. Three project attempts were made to develop an economical SST. These were in the United States, Russia, and a joint project between England and France. No major work currently exists that compares all three in depth that shows both their similarities and their differences. By utilizing all these sources, it was concluded that the development of the SST had profound impacts on the societies in which it was built. Furthermore, those very same societies stopped any potential the projects may have had to revolutionize the world of aviation.
