United becomes first U.S. airline to sign aircraft purchase agreement with Boom Supersonic
United Airlines has ordered 15 supersonic planes from start-up Boom Supersonic. They may be able to fly from London to New York in 3.30 hours or from San Francisco to Tokyo in 6 hours by 2029.
United goes supersonic - Boom Supersonic
United will purchase 15 of Boom’s ‘Overture’ airliners, once Overture meets United’s demanding safety, operating and sustainability requirements, with an option for 35 more aircraft. Slated to carry passengers in 2029, the net-zero carbon aircraft will fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Transforming the way we travel
Through innovation and collaboration, United and Boom are realizing a shared mission to connect the world safely and sustainably. At speeds twice as fast as today’s passenger jets, United’s new Overture fleet will open countless possibilities for new experiences and human connection.
Boom The Future of Supersonic Flight
“United continues on its trajectory to build a more innovative, sustainable airline and today’s advancements in technology are making it more viable for that to include supersonic planes. Boom’s vision for the future of commercial aviation, combined with the industry’s most robust route network in the world, will give business and leisure travelers access to a stellar flight experience. Our mission has always been about connecting people and now working with Boom, we’ll be able to do that on an even greater scale.”
