‘Son of Concorde’ boss reveals how much tickets will cost on jet that will halve flight time from US to London
The boss of “Concorde son” revealed how many tickets will cost so quickly that he will land in the United States at the same time as he leaves the United Kingdom.
Blake Scholl, 44, founder of Boom Supersonic and nicknamed the Elon Musk of Air Travel, also explained why he thought that the original Concorde had failed to trigger worldwide.

The boss has promised that the opening of the revolutionary boom will be able to fly from London, Paris, Madrid or Berlin in New York before leaving Europe.
The ambitious pattern of technology said to the Telegraph: “Whenever I watch the videos of the last Concorde landing in 2003, it makes me want to cry.
“Wright brothers in Concorde, each generation of planes was faster but we are backwards.
“We live in dark ages. The world needs a supersonic flight.”
Scholl promised that the passengers of his new jet will be exploded London has new York City of Mach 1.7 in just 3.5 hours.
He also declared that revolutionary planes would also promise to reduce the journey time of 600 global routes to half.
It can transport around 60 to 80 passengers between cities on earth and, hopefully, fly to 1,300 MPH on water.
A demonstrator for the company, known as XB-1 Supersonic, has already made 13 test flights and broke the sound barrier six times.
He said that his successor to Concorde “would transform our lives, the way we meet people, did business, went on vacation”.
The jet, of course nicknamed the “Concorde son”, did not audible Sonic Boom.
A number of orders such as American Airlines, United Airlines and Japan Airlines have already been designed for the Boom Technology, Overture Passenger Jet model.
This occurs after US President Donald Trump signed an executive decree in June by effectively raising a 52-year ban on civil supersonic flight to land in the United States.
And since Overture will be able to fly Supersonic on earth, New York flight to San Francisco will only take four hours.
This will mean that travelers can leave New York at 9 a.m. and land in California around 10 a.m.
Two points on the world will eventually be linked to a super fast flight, with a refueling stop or two, promised the firm.
Scholl revealed that the prices for each flights carrying 60 or more passengers will be set by airlines.
But it expects them to cost about £ 5,000 for a return from London to New York.
He explained one of the reasons why the original jet failed.
He said: “Concorde, with 100 seats and a ticket of almost $ 20,000, made no sense, even in New York in London, the best possible route.

“He stole half empty. If it had been half the size, the prices would have been lower and it could have worked economically. This is what we create.”
He also said that the Concorde had not been successful because it was too heavy, too fuel consumer, too uncomfortable and too expensive – all the problems that Scholl promises to solve.
The founder of Boom Supersonic also said that not being able to fly over land posed an important challenge for short -term aircraft.
But the last intervention of the donation solved this problem, explained Scholl.
A boom spokesperson has already told the Sun after Trump’s decree: “Although Boom is happy to see the regulatory routes for the compensation for supersonic flights, boom profitability analysis has never been based on regulatory change.
“There are more than 600 global routes which are economically viable for supersonic flight – even without becoming supersonic on earth.
“Now that the rules are updated to allow a supersonic flight without boom on earth in the United States, additional routes will benefit from acceleration.”
They added: “Boom’s supersonic Aironiline, Overture, will pilot the transatlantic roads, like New York to London, at its full cruising speed of Mach 1.7 on the water – about twice as fast as the conventional line planes today.
“Boomless Cruise allows Overture to fly at speeds up to Mach 1.3 on Earth without audible boom – up to 50% faster than the subsonic jets – reducing flight times from one ocean to the other up to 90 minutes.”
The company also revealed that the opening “remains on target“To obtain the certification of relevant organizations, including the FAA, at the end of the decade so that it can transport passengers.
Why did Concorde failed?
Concorde was the jet of supersonic passengers considered the ultimate luxury of plane trips.
Air France and British Airways have announced that they would retire their aircraft fleet on April 10, 2003.
The plane had its first commercial flight on January 21, 1976, it was therefore withdrawn after 27 years of service and 50,000 flights.
Several reasons have led to the decision to withdraw Concorde.
Air France and British Airways have cited a small number of passengers and high maintenance costs.
In the early 1990s, planes were exceeded and expensive to manage, although they were incredibly advanced when they were introduced for the first time almost three decades before.
The terrorist attack on September 11 in 2001 had a major impact on the number of passengers, while people have chosen not to fly.
The passenger numbers also dropped after Air France, Concorde was crushed a few minutes after taking off from Paris in July 2000.
The disaster killed the 109 people on board and four others on the ground.
The plane run on a small piece of metal on the track, which broke out a tire and had an engine light.
It was also the only plane in the British Airways fleet which required a flight engineer.

The bosses are aimed at deploying the first opening in three years and being tested in four flights.
To do this, they expect the production of the first plane in the “superfactory” to begin following year.
At the end of this year, they expect to produce a thrust during fully operational basic tests for the custom -made engine, Symphony.
“The current Boom command book represents the first five years of production at the Overture Superfactory North CarolinaAdded the spokesperson.
“The airlines were very receptive to the opening and competitive advantages of supersonic travel.
“In fact, research on the passengers we conducted indicates that 87% of passengers are ready to go from their favorite airline in order to access supersonic trips.”
