Boeing’s hypersonic passenger plane concept unveiled at the 2018 Aviation and Aeronautics Forum hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics on June 26, looks like something out of science fiction. The hypersonic aircraft is one of such vehicles which could have both military and commercial applications. It looks sleek and futuristic having the capability of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond. Built upon a foundation of six decades of work designing, developing and flying experimental hypersonic vehicles, Boeing is truly unveiling the potentiality of hypersonic technology that connects the world faster than ever before. While Boeing is setting its sight for hypersonic passenger travel, NASA is working on its latest project of building a quiet supersonic plane named X-59 QueSST experimental aircraft. This project aims to minimize the disruptive sonic booms that have prevented commercial supersonic flights over land in the past.
