>props always been more efficient than jets
When nature is trying to tell you something: listen: stop pointlessly moving around and stop wanting to do it faster. There is a penalty.

look, you don't have to say that props aren't good. yeah prop planes can't go supersonic. the solution is to enclose the props in a medium where the speed of sound happens to be way fucking higher

The output of a single A400M engine is roughly equivalent to that of a CFM56, so why not build a turboprop passenger aircraft comparable to the B737 class?
There are many routes, like those to remote islands, where economy is more important than speed.

People will sit in a airport for hours to go 600mph for such a shorter trip time....meanwhile they could have slept on a train or boat, or flew on a far less engineered plane with less hassle.

Why does anyone need to be anywhere fast as a plane? The all need kidney operations?

You're a patronizing jerk off trying tell everyone how they should live. You have no idea what people need, much less what they want. Nobody is going to listen to a limp wristed, snot nosed, "urbanist," with a deeply misplaced sense of superiority.

Computer simulation became better, and they used the better simulation to figure out how to drastically reduce the noise while maintaining power output. Previously, the one of the reasons why they gave up on propfan in the late 80s was much higher noise level compared to turbofan.

Pissed off that this crazy idea of degenerationism is gaining traction because of that SWEDISH RETARD GIRL.

Why is the military not using them? I doubt they care about noise levels

They don't care about fuel efficiency either
