Supersonic travel is moving closer to reality, after a successful test by a Texas startup that could one day fly passengers from New York to Paris in just 55 minutes.

Jean-Christophe Gallagher, head of aircraft sales at Bombardier, said Global 8000 passengers will be able to 'reach destinations farther and faster than ever before'.

The new supersonic passenger plane will feature an elongated nose and a specially designed midsection to absorb shock waves. As a result, the aircraft will emit less noise when flying at high speeds.

Supersonic aircraft tend to fly at high altitudes (Concorde flew at 60,000ft (18km) rather than the 40,000ft (12km) typical for most passenger jets) to take advantage of lower turbulence levels.

For efficiency reasons, most passenger jets cruise slightly slower than the speed of sound, at around Mach 0.8 (this is subsonic flight). Boom plans to build an airliner called Overture that can ...

American firm Spike Aerospace is also developing a supersonic business jet, with the tagline “delivering the world in half the time”. This is the value proposition of supersonic passenger travel.
