Commercial airplanes may soon be breaking the sound barrier again, almost 20 years after the last Concorde flight.
US aviation company Boom Supersonic has unveiled concept art for its new ‘Overture’ aircraft, a jet that will be “the world’s fastest airliner,” according to a promotional video posted on the company’s website.
Expected to make its first commercial flight in 2029, the new supersonic jet is predicted to be twice as fast as today’s airliners when flying over water and 20% faster over land.
