United Airlines’ Supersonic Jet Is a Bad Idea Like a lot of rich-people hobbies, bringing back really fast planes is dumb and helps wreck the planet. Copyright © 2021 Boom Supersonic A creative rendering of the Boom Supersonic Overture aircraft that United intends to purchase United Airlines announced this week that it will purchase at least 15 supersonic Overture jets, at $200 million a pop, from a startup called Boom, which having yet to put a single one of its fast new planes in the sky aims to start ferrying loads of up to 88 business-class passengers between major cities by the end of the decade. The International Council on Clean Transportation, or ICCT, estimates that supersonic jets are five to seven times as carbon-intensive as traditional planes. Improbably, Boom and United are each marketing this new era of supersonic travel as a climate innovation. They’ve pledged their planes will be “net-zero carbon from day one,” whatever that means.
