Although the Concorde has been retired, there has been some discussion about the research and building of "Son of Concorde," a joint effort by Japanese and French governments. Although the research is ongoing from these two countries, it should be noted here that British billionaire Sir Richard Branson is hard at work on his own brand of travel, Virgin Galactic.
