Overture to the aviation revolution! The supersonic plane from the American manufacturer Boom should do better than the Concorde and take us from Europe to the Caribbean in five hours with a bang.
Do the Americans have a blow? In this particular case, the answer is unequivocal: yes! Because as early as 2029, the American manufacturer Boom wants to offer supersonic flights again between Europe and the land of unlimited possibilities.
The journey at 2100 km/h (and the inevitable accompanying supersonic thunder) should then take a maximum of five hours, for example on the London-Miami route – currently it takes nine hours.
projects too expensive
After the Concorde’s discontinuation after its fatal crash 22 years ago, a suitable successor to the former prestige jet, which quickly transported stars like Elton John from gloomy England to the Bahamas for an afternoon cocktail, has long been worked on. The Air France and British Airways mega project never paid off.
Tickets for 5000 euros!
After United had already secured 15 pieces of the latest hit with a total value of three billion euros in 2021, competitor American Airlines is now really picking up the pace. 20 jets were ordered. Each aircraft measures 63 meters, has a wingspan of 18 meters and is powered by Rolls-Royce turbines. 88 passengers have space on board. A ticket costs from 5000 euros. For one direction mind you.
The Overture is to control 600 routes worldwide. It is quite possible that one of the jumbos will also roll over the track and take off in Schwechat. For sensitive people, Niki Lauda already had the advice not to forget the spittoon.
