They agreed to purchase 20 aircraft, not the company itself. The title is a bit ambiguous.



Sorry, I had to reword and shorten the headline from the linked page to fit within HN's title length limit.


Quite misleading - not that you did it intentionally, but the title "reads" as AA acquires the company, not an order for 20 aircrafts.

Better title - and still within HN limits - would have been:

"American Airlines to buy 20 Overture aircraft from Boom Supersonic"


Thanks for clarifying I was confused why an airline was getting into the airliner business, this makes much more sense.


Yeah should say places order for boom aircraft


Agreed
