The Times Are Changing
Over long distances, people don’t think in miles and kilometers.
They think in hours. Crossing the Atlantic takes about 6.
Since the invention of the jet engine in the 1950s, we have seen

Speed isn’t about going really fast. It’s about closeness—making
far away places feel like they’re right around the corner. If we can
fly twice as fast, the world becomes twice as small. Faster flight
brings the world together, spreads culture, strengthens bonds,
and makes our planet a more accessible home for us all.

flight mainstream. So let’s get there.
