The Future of Supersonic Travel
Building on Concorde’s legacy, government and commercial and aerospace innovators are developing technologies that would make supersonic flight over land possible, dramatically reducing travel time anywhere in the world. NASA's X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology and Boom's Overture are two promising aircraft in the pursuit for supersonic travel.
