I don't think there's a reason we couldn't, but as far as shouldn't, efficiency losses from air drag increase proportional to speed. Same reason we don't have

I don't think there's a reason we couldn't, but as far as shouldn't, efficiency losses from air drag increase proportional to speed. Same reason we don't have any 100mph submarines.
