Why is commercial air travel still the same speed it was 60 years ago? And will it ever change?
In: Technology
It’s actually faster now because we have more direct flights to places. For example, Delta Airlines, who used to be the ‘route everything through Atlanta’ airline, now has lots of direct flights from multiple mini-hubs.
The planes themselves can’t go any faster without creating sonic booms which they aren’t allowed to do over land
