Boeing sound very similar to the sound just before Wile E. Coyote apparatus fails. Boom is worse.

About time.
The Concorde was an amazing plane. Only one crash and it wasn’t really the plane or pilots fault.
Flew from 1976 to 2003.

“Boom” is not a good name for an airplane.

There’s a definite market for it. C level execs get paid a lot and don’t like to waste the time it takes sitting on an airplane.

Hopefully, this won’t be a disaster like Virgin Galactic.
But Branson is good at getting cheap publicity like Trump, and I doubt his involvement is costing him much.

Does anyone really want to board anything called a Boom Jet? It sounds so ACME you expect the pilot to be named Wile E. Coyote.
