Years ago, I watched a Concorde fly over Oshkosh. I have to admit, that was very awesome. When it took off, it made the loudest continuous roar I'd ever heard. It was terrifying. Putting my fingers in my ears didn't help much… If all goes well for Boom Supersonic, we should see some supersonic flights by 2030… Flying rapidly across the Atlantic has, of course, been a thing of the past since Concorde's demise in 2003. Flights from London to New York take around eight hours, and flights from New York to London take about seven hours. The current record is slightly under five hours from New York to London, aided by a favourable jetstream. However, the idea of supersonic travel has been revived - this time by NASA , which believes that a journey from New York to London might take as little as 90 minutes in the future . This has left people talking, as you can see from the comments above. Are you curious too? This book unveils the story behind NASA's X-59 . BUY NOW!
