It looks very exciting that we could soon be able to fly from London to New York in 3 hours, 30 minutes. I hope this becomes reality.

It looks very exciting to Boom and United introduce supersonic travel between London and New York City. Hopefully these ambitious plans to speed up US travel will materialise. The very thought of being able to travel across the Atlantic in 3 hours 30 minutes. Half of what it takes normally now of course the airlines would charge a premium but I would be happy to pay that and sustainability is also key with Boom saying that all flights would be net zero carbon flights.   With United Airlines investing in the project I am hoping the concept is not pie in the sky but one thing is for sure, the future of US travel is looking very exciting. 

There is a great editorial in The Washington Post about the project which you can read here https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/28/supersonic-air-travel/

There is also a great YouTube video from United that shows off the supersonic aircraft design - https://youtu.be/GoSNLQ5NGoc
