A new supersonic passenger service will test flown next year.
The American company Boom Technology is developing a supersonic plane with capacity for 40 passengers to be able to run in the 2700 km / h, which is ten percent faster than the Concorde was decommissioned in 2003.
the price of a return ticket across the Atlantic will also be able to reach a quarter of the price compared to the Concorde, writes Bloomberg.
According Boom is the technical progress in the last ten years, which makes it possible to once again start building commercial supersonic planes.
These include major advances in aerodynamics, composite materials and new engine technologies. In addition, wind tunnels and new software developed in a way that today it is much faster to develop a new plan compared to when the Concorde took shape during the 1960s.
The aim of Boom is to have a prototype in 1: 3 ready for test flight by the end of 2017, writes Bloomberg.
