"Overture is a craft designed to seat less than a hundred people at 'business class' levels of comfort. And for 'business class' prices, they’ll be able to fly from, say, Tokyo to Seattle in four hours and thirty minutes."https://www.engadget.com/boom-supersonic-xb-1-2021-130025910.html …
The reason Boom will be able to fly passengers supersonically for the price of current business class is that the flight times are so short that you don't need lie-flat seats. There's a lot of advanced tech in this plane, but that mundane fact is the key to the economics.
With virtual reality/activities we are adopting will speed matter more than safety.
Very disappointing that the article barely even touches on robustness I think we will find that supersonic aircraft will be cost-inefficient or even unsafe with respect to maintenance, if widespread commercial flight is the vision.
I still can’t believe how long ago Concordes were.

If Boom is successful, would it result in higher prices for economy flights? Currently (pre-covid) business-class passengers subsidise economy-class, but that subsidy will be gone.

Wasn't this the idea @elonmusk popularized with SpaceX some years ago? Great idea startups are pursuing this! Now just make it affordable

Why would anyone want to fly to Seattle?
