Boom Is the Fastest Passenger Plane Ever

A flight from New York to London takes about 7 hours. With some careful planning, you could, theoretically, have a meeting the same day you leave. But that’s super draining. A far better option for the business traveler, or the person who simply doesn’t like to be on long flights, is Boom. The fastest passenger airplane can get your from New York to London in 3.4 hours. It’s 2.6x faster than any other airline. The good news (or bad news, depending on how you look at it) is it costs the same a business class seat (around $5,000 round trip). The first flight is scheduled for late next year, so start planning your trip and saving your pennies.
