Boom Supersonic Hopes To Roll Out Supersonic Jets In 2026

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Supersonic jets could be making a comeback nearly 20 years after the Concorde stopped flying.

The company Boom Supersonic has released a demonstrator aircraft. It's a model of a future airliner the company hopes to roll out in 2026.

Boom says a flight from New York to London would take just three hours and 15 minutes.
