United Airlines is planning to turn the friendly skies into ultrafast skies with the addition of supersonic jets.

The US-based airline has officially announced it’s buying 15 planes from Boom Supersonic with the option to purchase 35 more at some point.

Superfast travel:

Boom’s first commercial supersonic jet, the Overture, has not been built or certified yet.

It is targeting the start of passenger service in 2029 with a plane that could cut some flight times in half.

That means a flight from New York to London that typically lasts seven hours would only take 3½ hours.
