Bengaluru
DENVER-based startup Boom Supersonic said on Tuesday that Japan's second biggest carrier Japan Airlines has invested US$10 million in the company, which is building a supersonic passenger aircraft that it claims will be faster, quieter and more affordable to fly than Concorde.
Boom is developing a 55-seat plane that it says will be able to more than halve the flight time from New York to London to just three hours and 15 minutes.
