Earlier this year, American Airlines agreed to a deal with aerospace company Boom Supersonic to purchase at least 20 of its jets. Last year, United Airlines inked its first deal with the planemaker.
The renewed focus marks a comeback nearly two decades after operators retired the Concorde aircraft. The fleet of supersonic jets flew commercially from 1976 to 2003. High costs and environmental concerns hobbled aviation advancement at the time. Boom Supersonic's proposed model will carry around 75 passengers up to 1,100 miles per hour, more than twice as fast as the average commercial plane and faster than the speed of sound. That means New York to London in three-and-a-half hours. "The market for them is limited to kind of the business jet market, the very, very rich people who are willing to spend that money to go fast," Bednarek said.
