United Buying Supersonic Jets: NYC to London in 3.5 Hours
June 4, 2021 ctn_admin
CNN – United Airlines announced a deal to buy 15 supersonic jets, planning to carry passengers on the ultra-fast planes by 2029.
If the airline can follow through with its plan, these would be the first commercial supersonic flights since the grounding of the Concorde jet in 2003.
The United supersonic will be able to fly from New York City to London in three and-a-half hours, and San Francisco to Tokyo in six hours. That’s super-fast, but we suspect the flights also will be super expensive.
