Here’s one from the vault… Hard to believe it, but it’s been twenty years since the Concorde SST (SuperSonic Transport) was permanently retired. It was a remarkable machine that plied the transatlantic trade at twice the speed of sound, the tooth-jarring sonic boom footprint limited to over-water flight. But the real promise of supersonic travel — Los Angeles to New York in a little over two hours, for example — in has never been practical due to that noise footprint. Until now. Meet the ingeniously designed OVERTURE with its sonic THUMP, manufactured by Boom Technology of Denver, Colorado.
