In a groundbreaking move in the aviation sector, Saudi Arabia becomes a major player in the supersonic passenger aircraft industry, as reported by "Aviation Week," a leading aerospace industry source.
The Kingdom has invested in the American startup "Boom Supersonic," which is spearheading the development of ultra-fast passenger aircraft. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia plans to establish a center for research, development, and training in the Middle East, with its headquarters in the Kingdom.
"Boom Supersonic" previously unveiled a prototype of its high-speed passenger aircraft, aiming to develop the next generation of Concorde-like planes. The company's ambitious goal is to enable flights from New York to London in just 3.5 hours, cutting down the current travel time of 7 hours.
