<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA plane that flies faster inevitably consumes more fuel. It is a simple question of physics. To pretend that a supersonic plane, with its inherently less efficient design in terms of consumption, can compete in terms of emissions with current commercial aircraft, also powered by sustainable fuels in the near future, seems to me, at the very least, naive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overture's argument that the price of tickets will be similar to that of current first class only reinforces my reservations. This is a service aimed at an economic elite, willing to pay a premium for comfort and speed. Is it fair that, at a time when we are all being asked to make a collective effort to combat climate change, resources should be allocated to satisfy the whims of a few? The environmental impact of each supersonic flight will be considerably greater than that of a conventional flight. Are we willing to assume this cost as a society? Does this make sense?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I understand the appeal of innovation and the fascination with speed. But we must be critical and ask ourselves whether this type of advance is really necessary in the current context. The experience of Concorde should serve as a lesson. Its commercial failure was not only due to its high operating cost, but also to the beginning of environmental awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The climate crisis demands a paradigm shift. We need to rethink our way of travelling, prioritising sustainability over speed. We must invest in research and development of truly green alternatives, such as synthetic fuels, hydrogen or electric propulsion, instead of clinging to obsolete and polluting models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Boom project, with its promise of supersonic flights, represents a step backwards in the fight against climate change. It is an anachronistic commitment to an unsustainable development model. Instead of feeding the dream of elitist speed, we should focus our efforts on building a future where mobility is accessible, efficient and, above all, respectful of the planet. It is time to leave the old ways behind and commit to a truly sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will we do it ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
