Congratulations to Boom on the first flight of their test bed aircraft.
Their emphasis on safety is commendable.

They used US military designation for prototype bombers ala the XB-70 Valkyrie

I heard rumors faa may prevent united from aquiring new airplanes. How would that affect the boom supersonic overture program????

[algirdasdarbinis]

No need to re-invent the wheel again. Just bring the Concorde back, just add some updates here and there to airframe from composite materials.

I’ve never seen someone use “ASL”. It’s usually “MSL”

BIG ASK, ... anything new on the 'Jet Engine' front ??? Rolls Royce bugged out, ... whazzup there ?

This jet can alone be more successful than overture

Even if they solve the noise problem, supersonic travel will prove to be uneconomic and ecologically unsound.
