American Airlines agrees to buy 20 supersonic planes from Boom

Boom Supersonic has committed to sell American Airlines 20 supersonic Overture aircraft.

Boom has received two firm orders in the past two years, including this one.

According to Boom, the Overture jet will travel at 1,304 mph or Mach 1.7, drastically reducing transatlantic and transpacific flying durations.

According to Boom CEO Blake Scholl, "Passengers demand flights that are faster, more convenient, and more environmentally friendly, and Overture delivers."

With networks like American, we can fly from Miami to London in under five hours, and flight times might be as little as half of what they are now.
