The Boeing 797 is a wide-body commercial aircraft, often referred to as the Sonic Cruiser. It is manufactured by Boeing in the Union of Everett as a super-sonic commercial passenger jetliner. Although similar to the Concorde super-sonic plane, the 797 features an advanced aerodynamic fuselage design, a canard-delta wing set of wings, canted outward twin tails and twin turbine engines in the far rear of the aircraft allow enhanced super-sonic flight superior to the Concorde with significantly reduced engine noise and sonic boom dampening. As of 2013, some 125 797 aircraft had been built.

| - The Boeing 797 is a wide-body commercial aircraft, often referred to as the Sonic Cruiser. It is manufactured by Boeing in the Union of Everett as a super-sonic commercial passenger jetliner. Although similar to the Concorde super-sonic plane, the 797 features an advanced aerodynamic fuselage design, a canard-delta wing set of wings, canted outward twin tails and twin turbine engines in the far rear of the aircraft allow enhanced super-sonic flight superior to the Concorde with significantly reduced engine noise and sonic boom dampening. As of 2013, some 125 797 aircraft had been built. The current model of the 797 has a passenger capacity of 300 passengers in addition to a typical flight crew of the captain, the co-pilot, an air marshal and five flight attendants. It has a maximum flight range of 11,250 miles (9,775 nautical mi). Additional variants of the 797 are planned to include a wide-body aircraft with a capacity of 550 passengers (797HC) and a regional aircraft with a capacity of 175 passengers (797R).
