Elon Musk’s Starlink on Airplanes

SpaceX’s Starlink uses a massive fleet of over 3,500 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to offer high-speed internet services to customers in major parts of the world. The current fleet is just a tenth of what the company plans to build. With services available in over 40 countries already, Starlink has begun expanding its services beyond borders by teaming up with maritime and aerospace companies. Commercial carrier might still be dragging its feet on whether to provide passengers with high-speed internet onboard using Starlink. But SpaceX’s offering is already the favorite for makers of supersonic and hypersonic planes. CEOs of futuristic airplane companies Hermeus and Boom have confirmed that their prototype planes are using Starlink already, is Starlink likely to replace other telecommunication companies ?
