Fort Worth-based American Airlines has put down deposits on 20 supersonic jets that could fly as fast as 1,300 miles an hour from startup aerospace company...
American didn’t say how much it paid for the supersonic jets, but it did say that Boom must meet “industry standard operating, performance and safety requirements” along with other conditions. Airlines such as American are hoping supersonic jets such as those made by Boom can make international travel more appealing since, as for now, planes must stay below the speed-of-sound while traveling over land.
“Looking to the future, supersonic travel will be an important part of our ability to deliver for our customers,” Derek Kerr, American’s chief financial officer, said in a statement. “We are excited about how Boom will shape the future of travel both for our company and our customers.
The Overture would fly about twice as fast a traditional airline jet. But those long-haul jets from makers like Boeing and Airbus also carry 240 passengers or more.Airlines have been curious about a return to faster-than-sound travel since the Concorde

Developer finds human remains near Nashville Civil War fortA developer has unearthed human remains that could be two centuries old while digging to lay the foundation of a new Nashville project not far from a Civil War fort and a cemetery dating back to 1822. For Nashville, the discovery marks the latest intersection of economic boom times and the city's rich and sometimes troubled history — where new amenities sprout up on or near lands where people long ago settled, battled or toiled, then died and were buried, often with little record of their final resting places. In a court petition earlier this month, AJ Capital Management noted that the discovery occurred in the neighborhood near Fort Negley while the company was working on its Nashville Warehouse Co. mixed development, which will include apartments and business space.
