IIRC, that's already available in Pikka's AV8...
EDIT: yes, in fact it is:

Which plane are you referring to in that list FooBar? The eAe Coronet looks a little similar, though it's much smaller and not supersonic.
The
main webpage also tells it's flying at mach 5 for long periods of time, and can carry about 300 passengers. As they say, it's basically an upgraded version of the Concorde.

If it would be developed (as it is on the paper only now), it will definitely not be "upgraded concorde", but completly new design and technology, as it will use kind of scramjet engines, hydrogen fuel and requires hypersonic aerodynamics.

Introduction year would have to be 2050 i'd guess, scramjets are such an immature technology, this is a fantasy proposal and is extremely unlikely to be built in the near future.

Yeah the company that produced this (can't remember the name now though) say that they don't expect the first flight to be before 2035, and commercial introduction before 2050.

That looks a lot like a missile, maybe making the wings bigger will make it look more like an airliner

Great Idea! I'm using Av8 and really needed a plane faster than the Boeing 2100

.
Anyhow, according to
this image, the LAPCAT A2 should be around 143m long (the A380 is
73m). Pikas Airbus A380 is 70 pixels long, so yours should be around 137px (not 80px). And yeah, the wings are a bit small, try making them bigger. Nice work!
Their gallerry can be found
here.
Btw, what do you think of the
Spruce Goose as another addition to the set

OK I made some "upgrades", and here they are:

(are they better than older?)

mmmh, their still missing a time/space continuum accelerator and bilateral anti-de-stallinization chambers, but otherwise their great
One other thing, the 2nd and 4th planes ( / and \ ) don't seem to have the same size wings.
But you should really consider upgrading the propulsion system to quantum generated metabravo engines

You could fire it at competitors' headquarters?

I made some changes now. So, is there any coder, who can help me putting that into game?

"I" sprites are not long enough. I 'd give them 3 or 4 pixels more.
EDIT: Seems they should be bigger. So wider too. Check the concord in planeset to compare.
