Passengers will soon be able to board the 'world's fastest airliner' and fly between London and New York in just 3.5 hours - which includes breaking the sound barrier.

Boom Supersonic have given a sneak peek at the latest design for their Overture plane, which is set to be rolled out in 2025, with the aim to have passengers onboard by 2029.

The plane will be able to carry 65-80 passengers, and will fly Mach 1.7 (the measurement used for the speed of sound), with aims to run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel.
