Air travel took a major hit when the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe. Strapping dozens or even hundreds of passengers into an enclosed steel tube where the air is recycled is a recipe for disaster when an airborne virus ravaging the planet, and even with vaccines rolling out, airlines have struggled to fill planes and get people back into the sky. Air travel is one of the fastest and safest ways to cover large distances, but it might take something new to revitalize the industry and get consumers excited about flying again.
Boom Supersonic hopes that it can be that something, and it wants to leverage the convenience of supersonic flight to draw in customers that want to spend less time in the air and more time at their destinations. As CNN reports, the company has an incredibly ambitious plan for gaining customers and building hype. Its ultimate goal? To be able to send passengers anywhere in the world within four hours, and for just $100 per ticket. Whether or not it can realize that dream will depend on how willing travelers are to hop aboard its ultra-fast jets.
