Is aviation going backwards?

According to link qatar airways boom supersonic order shttps://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/qatar-airways-interested-in-supersonic-potential-al-446049/ will any supersonic plane in the next few years change the way we travel will boom or nasa or lockheed martin take over the long haul market

Will booms planes change the way we travel or any supersonic transport

Ahh… Yeah! Maybe you can come back and try again after you have learned to communicate properly in the English language.

Qatar has a lot of money flowing around; most of the rest of the world does not. Supersonic is pointlessly expensive for most of us, and US restrictions on supersonic flight are almost as old as I'm… Half a century. The Concorde tried and failed.

Aviation troll strikes again.

I won't travel on a booms plane.

Your question has a number of errors.
The lack of a supersonic transport does not mean anything is going backward - they were never really a success, The goal of a commercial aircraft is to make money.

NASA is an agency of the US Government, they do not build or operate airliners.

Boom has only produced what is called "vaporware" in IT circles - it's an idea, not a product. Qatar has said they would look at a finished product, and I'm sure many other companies would look at it as well, That's not the same as buying a fleet of them.

As long as there's cost associated with energy, supersonic flight will not take over long haul flight. A new design may produce a more efficient SST than the Concorde, but it will still use more energy than a subsonic flight, and that energy costs money.

People are motivated by cost. About the only airlines that show any growth today are the super discount airlines that offer the cheapest possible tickets, with no frills. I know that when I fly on my own dime, I search flights by cost, and if one itinerary saves me $500 but takes 4 hours longer, that's the one I'm probably going to book.

No, the progress is slow but steady.
