United Airlines announced that it has entered a commercial agreement with Denver-based aerospace company Boom Supersonic to add 15 of its Overture aircraft to its global fleet, with an option for an additional 35 airliners. The Overture is capable of flying at speeds of Mach 1.7, connecting passengers to more than 500 destinations in nearly half the time. Some of the potential routes include Newark to London in 3.5-hours and San Francisco to Tokyo in just 6-hours. Read more for a video and additional information.
The aircraft will also be designed with cutting edge technology like the latest in-seat entertainment screens, lots of personal space, and contactless / wireless charging compatibility. Overture is set to roll out in 2025, fly in 2026 and expected to carry passengers by 2029 at far more affordable prices than its predecessor, the Concorde.
