In 2003 we took the step backwards from supersonic passenger transport when Concorde the only supersonic passenger jet to operate ceased flying. Since then we've been await its successor and finally, we may well have one in the very similar shape of the Boom Supersonic Overture. This is the tail of two planes one old and one new and if the new one has the chance to regain the crown of flying faster than the speed of sound.
