Supersonic air travel is set to return by 2026 as Fly-Concorde Ltd. works on a new version of the legendary Concorde aircraft. The project marks a major step toward reviving high-speed passenger flights in the United States.
US Revokes Supersonic Flight Ban
The development follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s signing of the “Concorde Bill” in June 2025. The new law lifted the long-standing ban on supersonic flights over American land, reopening the skies for next-generation airliners and sparking global interest in high-speed aviation.
Lighter, Faster, and Greener Aircraft
The redesigned aircraft, called Concorde 2.0, keeps the iconic delta-wing design but uses modern materials to make it 50 percent lighter. It will run on Sustainable Aviation Fuel, expected to cut emissions by up to 80 percent compared to the original model.
Record-Breaking Speed and Range
Concorde 2.0 is designed to cruise at 60,000 feet and exceed speeds of Mach 2. With this performance, you could fly from New York to London in under three hours, making it one of the fastest commercial aircraft in modern aviation history.
New Technology Solves Sonic Boom Problem
A breakthrough innovation by Dr. Pano Kroko Churchill — the Sonic Boom Suppression system — will allow the aircraft to fly quietly over land. Approved in 2025, this technology solves one of the biggest challenges that led to the first Concorde’s retirement.
Futuristic Design and Green Investment
The interiors of Concorde 2.0 will feature minimalist, eco-friendly designs inspired by Japanese aesthetics. Fly-Concorde Ltd. has also introduced “Concorde Coin,” a blockchain-based currency designed to support operations and attract investors focused on sustainable technology.
Commercial Flights Expected by 2026
If testing and certification stay on track, commercial service could begin by late 2026. The launch would coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original Concorde’s first transatlantic flight, marking a symbolic return of supersonic passenger travel.
