United Airlines aims to bring back supersonic flying with Boom deal – Sydney Morning Herald
The ultra-fast jets would cut flying time between London and the New York area by 50 per cent to about 3½ hours, while Tokyo would be only six hours from San Francisco….
United Airlines says it will buy ultra-fast jets from Denver-based aerospace company Boom Supersonic, bringing back supersonic passenger travel that died out with the retirement of the Anglo-French Concorde in 2003.
Under the agreement, the airline will buy 15 of Booms Overture aircraft once they meet Uniteds safety, operating and sustainability requirements, with an option for an additional 35 aircraft.
