The 'Son of Concorde' will bring back supersonic travel to the U.S..
American Airlines, the world's largest airline, has committed to buying 20 supersonic aircraft from a Colorado-based aircraft manufacturer, whose design is still under testing, aTraveling at speeds faster than that of the sound was a regular event before the turn of the millennium. However, when the aircraft manufacturer Concorde went under, airlines had no option but to stick with subsonic aircraft.
The new design also means the aircraft will be equipped with four smaller engines than originally planned. Helping reduce the noise will be an automated noise reduction system and the lack of afterburners, meaning the aircraft should be no louder than a conventional aircraft.According to the press release, American Airlines has paid a non-refundable deposit for 20 of Boom's supersonic aircraft with an option to add 40 more.
