Commercial flights are about to get a lot faster, at least if United Airlines has anything to say about it.
On Thursday the company announced a brand new deal with Denver-based aerospace company Boom Supersonic, where it will purchase fifteen of its Overture airliners to add supersonic speed to its airline business. The deal includes a possibility that United will purchase up to 50 Overture airliners total, as long as the jet meets United’s safety, operating, and sustainability requirements.
