The Future Is Faster: Why Supersonic Travel Is Back

For the past 50 years, commercial air travel has largely remained the same. While aircraft have become more efficient and digital tools have improved operations, flight speeds have plateaued. In some cases, they have even regressed. Today, international travelers often spend more time in the air than they did decades ago.

At Sonic, we believe the time has come to change that. We are building a new generation of supersonic aircraft designed to restore speed to aviation. These aircraft are engineered to fly at over Mach 1.7 across oceans, reducing long-haul travel times by half.

But this is not a return to the past. It is a new era. Unlike earlier attempts, Sonic’s supersonic systems are being developed with modern materials, autonomous flight support, and breakthrough design techniques. Our focus is on performance, sustainability, and accessibility. Our vision is to enable fast, comfortable, and efficient air travel between major cities worldwide.

Supersonic travel is not just about going faster. It’s about empowering people to live, work, and explore more freely. When travel is faster, the world becomes smaller, and opportunity expands.
