The McDonnell Douglas High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) was a proposed supersonic transport aircraft project initiated by McDonnell Douglas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The aircraft was intended to provide faster-than-sound air travel for commercial passengers, potentially reducing transcontinental flight times significantly compared to conventional subsonic jets. The HSCT project aimed to achieve cruise speeds of around Mach 2.
