US airlines company, United Airlines have signed aircraft purchase agreement with Boom Supersonic to add supersonic airplanes its its fleet.

"We are the first US airline to sign an agreement for @BoomSupersonic's 'Overture' airliners," United said in a Facebook post. 

"Optimized to run on up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel, Overture can connect 500+ destinations in nearly half the time. Which means, starting in 2029, United customers could fly from New York to London in just three and a half hours on a net-zero carbon flight," the airline added.

United will purchase 15 of Boom's 'Overture' airliners, once Overture meets United's demanding safety, operating and sustainability requirements, with an option for 35 more aircraft.

Slated to carry passengers in 2029, the net-zero carbon aircraft will fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Through innovation and collaboration, United and Boom are realizing a shared mission to connect the world safely and sustainably.

At speeds twice as fast as present passenger jets, United's new Overture fleet will open countless possibilities for new experiences and human connection.
