Boom Supersonic, an aerospace startup, hopes to resurrect faster-than-the-speed-of-sound commercial air travel across the Atlantic, not seen since the SST Concorde flown by British Airways and Air France in the 1970s. The Boom Overture is expected to fly 65 passengers from New York to London in just over three-and-one-half hours, Newark to Frankfurt in four [...]
United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare) is buying ultra-fast jets from Denver-based aerospace company Boom Technology (Denver Centennial) in a move that will bring back supersonic travel - something last seen when the well-heeled jetted across the Atlantic in the Concorde almost 20 years ago. Under the terms of the agreement announced on June 3, United [...]
Boom Supersonic unveiled its first demonstrator aircraft X-B1 last October, which is scheduled to begin flight testing next year, in a milestone for the U.S. startup planning a commercial airliner that can conquer the sound barrier.
