  New SST Concept Hyper Sting                                              Source:  Oscar Vinals New York to London in 80 Minutes An exciting new flying concept, the Hyper Sting, has just been unveiled by famed, Barcelona-based aviation designer Oscar Vinals.  It's a supersonic passenger aircraft that can fly at three times the speed of sound or Mach 3.5.  That speed would enable travel from New York City to London in just 80 minutes.  Designer Vinals says this SST is very feasible, but it will require the development of new, advanced technologies. Future of Flying This fascinating new piece of aviation technology, that showcases a supersonic future, would be capable of carrying 170 passengers.  It is powered by a cold fusion nuclear reactor that fires up and sustains 4, next generation hybrid turbojets and 2, ramjet engines.  It is bigger and wider than the Concorde at 328-feet long and the wingspan is 169-feet. The shape of the plane is sleek and distinctive with a very sharp nos

  American Airlines Orders 20 SSTs                                             Source:  Boom Supersonic Traveling Faster Than the Speed of Sound Business is booming at the moment for Colorado-based aviation company Boom Supersonic.  American Airlines has just joined United and Japan Airlines in placing substantial orders for Boom's Overture SST passenger plane.  Overture uniquely flies faster than the speed of sound on ecofriendly Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). American has ordered 20 Overture SSTs with the option of buying 40 more.  Boom already has 70 SST orders from United Airlines and Japan Airlines.  The SST will enable flights from New York City to London in 3.5 hours as opposed to 5.5 hours currently or Tokyo to Seattle in 4.4 hours rather than the current 8.3 hours.  For air travelers, those flight times would be a dream come true. Tech Specs Boom is readying for takeoff with a production ready version it just unveiled.  Overture has gull-like wings with a contoured fuse

  Boom's Supersonic Aircraft Overture Unveiled                                                  Source:  Boom Something New & Incredibly Fast in the Sky Colorado-based Boom Supersonic may be the first aviation company to bring back super-fast, supersonic flying that ended twenty years ago with the demise of the Concorde.  At the very recent 2022 Farnborough International Air Show in the UK, Boom unveiled its latest design for its ultra-sleek SST, the Overture.  The vehicle will go into service in 2029 and fly at twice the speed of today's commercial aircraft.  It will reach speeds of Mach 1.7 or 1,100 mph over the water and have the capacity to cut passenger travel time in half. More than 600 routes around the world are planned by Boom.  The likely cost of a roundtrip seat will be 75% less than the Concorde's $12,000 average or $3,000.  Boom believes that within the next decade, SSTs will be the first choice in air travel.  Bottomline: you can get to your destination in
