Commercial aviation’s return to supersonic flying (for the first time since Concorde) received a major vote in confidence this week, as American Airlines and Boom Supersonic announced the airline’s agreement to purchase up to 20 Overture aircraft, with an option for an additional 40. American Airlines has paid a non-refundable deposit on the initial 20 aircraft and is the third airline to place an order for the jets, after United Airlines which ordered 15 last year.
Hey, have you heard another Chinese Yunxing?
Excellent report!
