by David Seeley | Aug 17, 2022
McLaren—the British maker of luxury, high-performance supercars—needed to accelerate the look of its new North American HQ in Coppell, just north of Dallas. So before they decamped from New York, they hired Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects to conceptualize and design their new campus.
Here's a look inside the new 31,000-square-foot campus, which MAA project architect Derek Dizon says "reflects the luxury and innovative brand" of the high-tech supercar maker.

Fort Worth-Based American Airlines Orders Up to 20 Boom Supersonic Aircraft
by Dallas Innovates | Staff Report | Aug 16, 2022
Nearly 30 years after the last Concorde flight, American Airlines is betting on a supersonic future. The Fort Worth-based airline has ordered up to 20 Boom Supersonic Overture aircraft, with an option to order up to 40 more. But don't book your flight yet: Denver-based Boom doesn't expect to roll its first Overture off the production line until 2025, and the first passenger flights are slated for 2029.
When they do take flight, the Overtures are expected to fly up to 80 passengers at Mach 1.7 over water, reaching destinations in as little as half the time of subsonic airliners.
