The song was performed by the band on their debut national TV performance on 's.

Background [ ] 'Supersonic' was written and recorded in a single day at recording studio in Liverpool. The band were there to record 'I Will Believe' but first, as a warm up, they started jamming together.
Soon Noel Gallagher was humming a melody over McCarroll and Bonehead's rhythm until he called the jam to a halt as it was time to start recording 'I Will Believe'. The intended song was not going too well so it was decided that they work on something new, based on a jam they had had earlier that day. The recording was completed in 11 hours and it was never remixed. Noel has claimed that the actual writing of the song took place while his bandmates took a break from the recording studio to order and eat a Chinese takeaway.
Instead of joining them, Noel stayed in the studio to develop his riff, and had written the entire song before they returned. He later remarked that it was an unbelievable experience to see their fans singing along to a song he had written at 3am in the morning. The identity of 'Elsa' has caused confusion.
Regarding the lyrics that say 'She done it with a doctor / on a helicopter / She's sniffin' in a tissue / sellin',' Gallagher has remarked that someone told him they thought 'Supersonic' was about teenage prostitution. Oasis recorded two videos for the song for UK and U.S. The UK version features the band playing on a roof, similar to '. The rooftop is on the south side of, London, with King's Cross station and the Great Northern Hotel clearly visible across the road.

JAL's funding is a significant endorsement from a highly respected airline. 'This is about signaling to the broader ecosystem that this is something that there's real airline customer interest in,' Blake Scholl, Boom's founder and CEO, said in an interview with CNNMoney. 'The money is largely symbolic, but it's an important symbol.
JAL doesn't put $10 million around without thinking really hard about it.' Scholl said Boom has been working with JAL since last year. Airlines who get in line early for all-new jets can benefit from intimate involvement in the design process, giving their wish list for features they think will please passengers, pilots, flight attendants and maintenance crews. Civilians haven't been able to buy a ticket to fly supersonic since Concorde was retired from in 2003.
The Franco-British jet traveled at twice the speed of sound, crossing the Atlantic in just three and a half hours. The iconic plane flew regularly between Europe and New York for 27 years but was withdrawn from service because of high costs. Its retirement was also hastened by a crash in 2000 that killed 113 people. Including JAL's investment, Boom has now raised a total of $51 million, according to Scholl, and he suggested more funds are in the pipeline. An artist's rendering of Boom's planned supersonic jet.
The money the company already has is more than enough to get it through developing a small two-seat demonstration aircraft and conducting its first test flight, he said. That aircraft, dubbed the XB-1, is expected to fly by the end of next year.
The project still faces extremely high hurdles. Its initial funding is a drop in the bucket compared with the billions of dollars Boom will need to develop, build, test, certify and mass produce a full-scale airliner. In the jet age, there has never been a new entrant in commercial aviation that didn't receive significant state funding or already have a track record producing other aircraft. Boom says it has interest from five airlines in buying a total of 76 of its supersonic airliners if it succeeds in bringing the plane to market. That's been publicly identified.
It holds options to purchase the first 10 Boom jets. 'Richard got a special deal in exchange for being first,' Scholl said, referring to Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson. Scholl acknowledged that JAL is the first airline to place appreciable dollars behind its interest in the aircraft, which would fly at more than twice the speed of sound. Plane makers covet the backing of large and established airlines. JAL and rival All Nippon Airways, were among the first to purchase Boeing's ( ) 787 Dreamliner back in 2004, a major boost to the program. 'Through this partnership, we hope to contribute to the future of supersonic travel with the intent of providing more 'time' to our valued passengers while emphasizing flight safety,' Yoshiharu Ueki, president of Japan Airlines, said in a statement about the Boom investment.
The Japanese archipelago is among the most attractive areas for supersonic flying because planes don't have to travel over very much land to reach big cities. That reduces the risk of noise pollution caused by a sonic boom.
Supersonic flight is banned over Europe and the United States. At twice the speed of sound, a flight between San Francisco and Tokyo would take around five and a half hours, including a stop for fuel along the way, Scholl said.
Today, a conventional subsonic aircraft does the journey in just over 11 hours. The speed isn't just attractive for intercontinental flights, Scholl said.
A flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong could be cut from roughly five hours to around two hours, offering airlines a supersonic shuttle between two of the world's biggest financial centers. • • • • • Most stock quote data provided by BATS.
