United Airlines just announced a new leap into supersonic civilian flight, placing orders for 15 new jets designed to fly at Mach 1.7 that could halve the flight from New York to London to just 3.5 hours.
If the new project takes off, passengers can expect to travel from Newark to Frankfurt in four hours and in a real game changer, all the way across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Tokyo in just six hours.

The allure of the Concorde also took a serious hit with a freak accident that brought down one of the Air France planes in 2000.
