Seen in another report - "You can have your business meeting in xxx and be back in time for dinner". Is this even relevant anymore and more importantly will it be relevant in 2030 when these supersonic aricraft are expected to fly commercially?
United Airlines (UAL.O) said on Thursday would buy ultra-fast jets from Denver-based aerospace company Boom Supersonic, bringing back supersonic passenger travel which died out with the retirement of the Anglo-French Concorde in 2003.
Under the agreement, the airline will purchase 15 of Boom's "Overture" aircraft once they meet United's safety, operating and sustainability requirements, with an option for an additional 35 aircraft.
