The Boom Supersonic Overture Top Speed

The Boom Supersonic Overture is a supersonic passenger airliner under development by Boom Supersonic, a company based in United States.

The Overture will be the next generation supersonic passenger jets, which will have a top speed of 1.7 MACH which is approximately 1304 mph and will be the highest flying passenger airliner on earth. The Overture will fly at altitudes up to 60,000 feet where you will see the Earth’s curvature and the darkness of space

All-Business Class Configuration

An all-business class configuration can be chosen by airlines with more space to get comfortable on a supersonic jet. There is a window seat available for each passenger and this aircraft can fly to destinations in half the time. What’s not to love?

Those businessmen and women will fly on the new boom supersonic where time is money.

Fast Flying Comes At A High Price

The Boom Overture will fly at remarkable speeds. To achieve this, the Overture will be powered by three Rolls-Royce jet engines to push the aircraft through the sound barrier. This will require lots of energy to break the sound barrier – meaning more fuel is needed. Boom are dedicated to building a aerodynamic aircraft reducing the demand for fuel increasing efficiency.

Concorde

Concorde is a Supersonic passenger airliner designed to fly at twice the speed of sound reaching speeds of up to Mach 2.2. Concorde could accommodate between 92-118 passengers and crew.

Concorde made its flight in 1969 and entered service in 1976 with Air France and British Airways.

The End Of The Supersonic Era

Tuesday, 25 July 2000, at 16:44:31 local time (UTC 14:44:31). During take-off Concorde ran over an engine strip from a DC-10 on the runway. As a result, a tyre was blown which hit the underside of the fuel tank. The force was so great, it ruptured a fuel tank. That ultimately leads to the crash. Concorde was retired on October 24th 2003

Supersonic Travel Is Making A Comeback

The Boom Supersonic Overture will serve passengers in 2029. Boom Supersonic will build a new era of supersonic travel, with the hope more manufacturers build supersonic jets. But, good things take time.
