United Airlines Is Going Supersonic
United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ: UAL) announced today that it has signed a commercial agreement with Denver-based aerospace company Boom Supersonic for 15 of Boom's Overture supersonic aircraft. The agreement also contains the option for another 35 planes, and includes what it calls a "cooperative sustainability initiative."
The Overture is not yet in operation or certified for flight, but Boom says the aircraft will cut travel times in half and operate on up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel. The Overture will be the first large commercial aircraft designed to be net-zero carbon, the companies say.
