Boom Supersonic's CEO explains how his jet could avoid the pitfalls that doomed the Concorde — and someday bring faster-than-sound flight to the masses

. The reveal marked a major milestone for the company, which aims to have a supersonic passenger jet — a plane capable of traveling faster than the speed of sound — to market in the next decade.

Although several high-profile accidents ultimately doomed the jet, its real killer was the impractical economics, said Boom Supersonic founder and CEO Blake Scholl. Moreover, Boom has the advantage of working with modern design tools, such as advanced computer design software, instead of "pencil and paper" like the Concorde developers, Greg Krauland, chief engineer of the XB-1 program, said at an unveiling event.

Like the Concorde, the Overture won't be able to travel above Mach 1 — the speed of sound — without generating a sonic boom. Regulations will bar it from flying at supersonic speeds above many countries, including the US, so a two-hour New York-Los Angeles flight won't happen anytime soon.
