The Boom Overture is a proposed supersonic airliner under development by Boom Technology.Its design will be capable of traveling Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn; 1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph), with 64–80 passengers depending on configuration, and 4,250 nmi (7,870 km; 4,890 mi) of range.
In March 2016, Boom Technology revealed that it is in the development phases of building a 40-passenger supersonic jet capable of flying Mach 1.7, claiming that the design simulation shows that it will be quieter and 30% more efficient than the Concorde and will be able to fly Los Angeles to Sydney in 6 hours. It is planned to go into service ...
The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"), sometimes styled QueSST, is an American experimental supersonic aircraft under development by Skunk Works for NASA's Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project. [2] Preliminary design started in February 2016, with the X-59 planned to begin flight testing in 2021.
A demonstrator aircraft for Boom Supersonic’s new passenger jet took to the skies this month. CEO Blake Scholl says we’ll all be flying supersonic in the future.
Flying passengers as soon as 2029 will also be tricky, Evans adds, drawing a comparison to the delayed Boeing 777-9, a variant of an existing aircraft and not even an entirely new one, whose ...
Fifty years after passenger supersonic travel over land was banned over noise concerns, NASA believes those flights may return as soon as 2026 through the development of its X-59 jet.
