More like the SR-71 equipped to carry a massive payload.



The plane above sounds like it's meant only to avoid unpredictable weather since there was no mention of fuel savings or cost savings at all. At 35k feet, it's barely off the ground.

My thought was more along the lines of mach 3 and 100,000 feet. Perhaps that's not technically feasible with an enormous payload.
