The point of the Scramjet is to develop new engines for future travel... Mach 7 in a passenger capable plane would be pretty revolutionary. You could be somewhere in minutes as opposed to hours.

Just so long as it doesn't involve too many Immelmanns or split-esses. LOL.

Guys, they couldn't make the Mach 2 Concord commercially viable.

As for evasive maneuvers - yes they may be somewhat relevant considering that what is trying to shoot you down will either be going at similar speed or be trying to fly in front of you (think of Mach 1, guided barrage balloons).

The future is subsonic.

Times change.
They couldn't make the space shuttle commercially viable either, in 2011 you can travel to space for 250k - and probably for less than half of it in 10yrs.
The hypersonic airliners will be reality, it just takes another 20years or so.

It has to catch up first.

Passenger travel would be a very, very long way down the road. Primarily this technology is being developed for getting payloads into space in a far cheaper way than today with huge rockets.
