Aerospace Startup Will Build A Supersonic Mach 2.2 Aircraft
A new commercial aircraft will fly more than twice the speed of sound, traveling from New York to London in 3.4 hours. An anonymous reader quotes Fortune:Colorado-based startup Boom Supersonic is one step closer to making such travel a reality after securing $33 million in investments to construct and fly its first supersonic jet, the XB-1 demonstration and testing craft, according to TechCrunch...

"This funds our first airplane, all the way through flight tests," Boom founder and CEO Blake Scholl told TechCrunch.
