Flew too fast? The horror...

Yes, too fast. The higher speed (Mach 2.7 vs Mach 2 on the Concorde) caused greater tech problems, agravated by it's size and weight (this being almost twice that of the Concorde); had Boeing gone for a more modest and slower model...
 
To reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from air travel, Hatsunia has pioneered the usage of hybrid electric transport aircraft, such as this vehicle by the Hatsunia Aerospace Science and Development Agency (HASDA).

Commercial air carriers, such as Tricolore Airline, have begun to switch (full size).

Wingmen aviators of the Kommersant's 2nd Tactical Squadron, 1st Colonial Aero Corps, assemble for a pirate interdiction patrol over the Kommersant-defended sea lanes of the Eastern Approaches in the Gulf of Gwei-Ko. Their Rapier II fighter-bombers are equipped with a light naval strike payload of 250 kg high explosive and incendiary bombs, in addition to their standard gun loadout of armor piercing, incendiary-tracer .50 caliber rounds. The flight leader is a hereditary lieutenant-colonel of the Second Squadron. The 2nd Tactical Squadron, colloquially known as the Shooting Star Squadron, is amalgamated from the old Wingmen tribal divisions of the Falcon Squadron, the Red Squadron, and the Sparrowhawk Squadron.

The Second Squadron's supporting fleet elements of the Kommersant's 5th Aeronaval Group are visible in the background. From top to bottom, these vessels consist of the light gun-clipper Hayabusa IV, the flattop-clipper Laminar Flow, the patrol-steamer Afrikander Queen, and the medium gun-clipper Spirit of Tsiolkovsky. In lieu of the standard sky-blue hull flash, Kommersant fleet elements attached to active frontline squadrons of the 1st Colonial Aero Corps are permitted to sport the coveted black-yellow-black combat flash favored by Wingmen aviators on frontier duty.
