BOOM. The supersonic airplane
« on: June 03, 2021, 08:43:06 AM »
I know this has been discussed on DDF but can’t find the thread and I think it deserves one of its own.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/03/business/economy/united-airlines-supersonic-planes.html

This struck out to me as a huge development “ Leskinen said the economics should be about the same as a new 787. Boom is planning to carry out test flights in 2026 and to carry passengers before the end of the decade”
Without much details divulged it’s hard to judge how realistic that statement is but it definitely sounds like a promising development by looking at the core issue.

From 5 hours to just under 90 minutes to London from JFK.. game changer. However, not sure how much I’d be willing to pay just to get there quicker. A few hundred, MAYBE..hoping that it’s not too inflated.

Or we can just figure out how to skip the whole security theater...

If only… I wonder what it was like pre-9/11 (was too young to remember any of it)

However, not sure how much that would solve for how fast it would take to get to a specific location while up in the air.

From their site, I don't see them cutting flight time that much. it's more like 4:30 hours, instead of 8h.
Scroll down.https://boomsupersonic.com/overture
SFO to ICN. 8:10 instead of 12:10.

How is there value in this, for the price they'll charge?
