The initial test of the world’s fastest passenger plane is expected next year

The journey from London to New York on a regular ship takes about 7 hours, which is a great development as it can take weeks or even months to travel by ship.

But imagine a plane that can cover a distance of about three and a half thousand miles in just three and a half hours?

Yes, such supersonic planes will soon be seen flying in the air, which will be able to cover such a long journey very quickly, ie a long journey from Karachi to London will be possible in three hours.

The aircraft is being developed by a company called Boom and has been named the world’s fastest civil aircraft.

The Boom XB1, a smaller version of the aircraft, will be tested sometime next year, and the makers claim that the flight from London to New York could be completed less than three and a half hours earlier.

For commercial flights, the aircraft will be seen flying in the air over the next decade at a speed of 1700 miles per hour, while its prototype will be part of a test flight in 2021.

Simply put, its flight between Lahore and Karachi will be enough to get passengers to their destinations in less than half an hour.

The American company is working on the design of this aircraft which is very similar to Concordia.

It will be able to fly at an altitude of 60,000 to 70,000 feet, with luxurious facilities for passengers.

The company has been invested in by Japan Airlines and Virgin Group, and both companies have already placed orders for a total of 30 aircraft.

The commercial version will be called Overtrow, while the prototype variant will be called XB1.

The company says that a B1 will be officially introduced on October 7, 2020 and will take off in 2021.

The XB1 is not basically a passenger plane, but it will be like a fighter jet with only one pilot.

It will also be much smaller in size than the Overflow and is intended to test the technologies used on larger aircraft.

“With XB1, we will show how we are preparing to bring back supersonic aircraft. We want to secure the future of supersonic aircraft while making them environmentally and economically stable,” the company said.

If the prototype is successful, work will begin on the OverTrow, which will be tested in the mid-2020s and will fly for passengers by 2030.
