Supersonic Commercial Flight

Supersonic commercial flight refers to passenger aircraft traveling faster than the speed of sound, approximately 767 miles per hour (1,235 km/h) at sea level. These jets reduce travel time significantly compared to traditional subsonic planes. Examples include the Concorde, which operated from 1976 to 2003. Supersonic flights face technical challenges like high fuel consumption, noise from sonic booms, and stricter regulations due to environmental concerns. Advances in technology are currently exploring new designs for faster travel, but widespread supersonic commercial flights are not yet common due to high costs and regulatory hurdles.
