Boom Technology's XB-1 has achieved a new speed milestone of Mach 0.82, marking significant progress towards its future supersonic passenger jet, Overture, targeted for 2026.
At Mach 1.7, the Overture aims to reduce the NYC to London flight time to just 2.7 hours, a remarkable improvement over current travel times.
Boom's project is reminiscent of the Concorde, promising to limit sonic booms to over the ocean while making supersonic travel more accessible.
United Airlines' commitment to the Overture reflects a growing interest in supersonic travel, with plans to introduce a fleet that could revolutionize air travel.
