Former President Trump has signed new orders aimed at strengthening the U.S. drone defense systems and accelerating the development of supersonic flight technology. The move signals a push to modernize military capabilities and maintain a competitive edge in advanced aerospace tech.

Remember the Concorde? That sleek, ultra-fast passenger jet that could zip from New York to London in just over three hours? Well, a company called Boom Supersonic is trying to bring that kind of speed back to the skies—but with a modern twist. Their CEO, Blake Scholl, is pushing to develop a new supersonic airliner that could cut travel times in half. The catch? They still need to convince airlines and passengers that it's worth the cost and hassle.

Editor’s Note: Faster flights could revolutionize long-distance travel, making international trips feel more like quick hops. But the big question is whether people are willing to pay a premium for speed—and whether regulators and airlines will get on board. If it works, this could be the biggest leap in commercial air travel since the jet age.
