Flying Overture will be nicer than flying domestic first class—at 2x speed.
We have ~60 seats in a bigger space than Concorde had 100. Plus taller ceilings, a boarding door 10“ taller (1“ taller than a 737).
There will be a version with flatbeds for extra long flights too. https://t.co/5Bs3ObEr2p
Richard Mccrary🇺🇲 (@RichardMccrar20): Please tell me your cabin will be more roomy than the Concorde. Yes, it was fast, but not comfortable.
