I feel like this is going to be for a very specific type of flight that will be in only the most necessary cases for ultra fast travel. Otherwise the vast majority of domestic travel will be by the high speed rails.

My guess that HSR making domestic air travel obsolete might be the very motivation for stuff like this. They're likely betting that flying will only be useful over long distance going forward.
