BOOM introduced its supersonic passenger airliner as well as the XB-1 Supersonic Demonstrator, at Dubai Future Foundation premises. The commercial aircraft will connect the GCC to the rest of the world with flights up to 2.6X faster than conventional airliners. For example, a flight from Dubai to Sydney which takes 14 hours 51 minutes at present, will take just 8 hours 17 minutes flying supersonic. In the same fashion, Dubai to New York will be 7 hours and 35 minutes versus 14 hours currently.
Based in Denver, Colorado, Boom Supersonic is using state-of-the-art aerospace technologies to deliver a revolutionary speedup in travel. Compared to Concorde, designed in the 1960s, Boom will be 80 per cent less expensive to operate–leading to affordable tickets for passengers and profit opportunities for airlines.
The Boom airliner seats up to 55 passengers in comfort and privacy. Cruising at 60,000 ft., passengers experience less turbulence. Looking through the largest windows in commercial aviation, the sky is a deeper blue and one can see Earth’s curvature.
