Boeing has been working on sonic & supersonic jets for sometime now. The current focus is on Sonic Cruiser, a jet that will save 20% off long-distance flights with the same fuel efficiency. That means flights from NYC to LAX in just five hours instead of six.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes is focusing its new product development efforts on a design that allows faster, higher travel. The Sonic Cruiser will travel at speeds between Mach 0.95 and Mach 0.98. Cruise altitude will be in the mid-40,000 foot (above 13,000 meters) level. Initial range of the airplane will likely be between 6,000 and 7,500 nautical miles. The new jet is in the early phases of development and may change as Boeing works with its customers to understand their requirements.

“Think Aerospace” was created to celebrate and recognize all of the incredibly exciting developments in aviation and aerospace technologies. This field combines all of human knowledge, experience & ingenuity into one area. It is a sum total of all technologies that have so far been developed - rocket science certainly, but every other science too: physics, engineering, mechanics, electronics, biology, material science, computing, optics, robotics, networking, mathematics, etc.

So much more is required than just the hard sciences. Without the most sophisticated and cutting-edge thoughts in economics, finance, sociology, political science, business management, entrepreneurship and law, aerospace would never have gotten this far. To reach the stars, it will need so much more.

Some think of it as the next frontier for human exploration. I think of it as the new, new world with untold riches and opportunities awaiting us.

Reach for the stars - inspire and be inspired!
