Boeing’s Sonic Cruiser Revived - Back before I was a car nut, I was a plane nut. In 2003, Boeing had released the first images of their close to super sonic passenger airliners. It was no Concorde, but it was planned to go from NY to L.A. in 4 hours. Thats about an hour and a half faster than any modern commercial plane today. It had to be sub-sonic - let’s not forget it is still illegal to break the sound barrier in the United States. In 2005 though, Boeing dropped its plans for the Sonic Cruisers. Times weren’t right. But guess what turned up at the U.S. Patent office earlier this year? Yup - The Sonic Cruiser is being revived. Now with stadium like seating.
Yes. I am talking about this. This is what I am talking about. The promise of flight. The promise of the motherfucking future.
