“ What kind of fuel does it use?”

Maybe it’s electric. I understand it’s all the rage.

The bovine organic fertilizer is pretty deep on that story. The problem with supersonic plane noise is NOT the sound of the engine.

“With 26 million hours of designing and testing”

Not a chance in Hades this number is accurate.

You obviously aren't adding in the time that Larry Bell, Frank Whittle, Franz von Ohain, Geoffery de Haviland, and the Wright Brothers, among others, spent researching and developing predecessors. /s

I bet it would take 5 years to charge it up, so sign up for your flight, 5 years in advance. 😀🤗🤪😆🧐

Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind
What do you run on, Rockette Morton?

Same as Concord.
It will effectively be a private airplane for the rich and famous.
The rest of us will never be able to afford a flight.

FTA: Overture will run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)

Right there you know it is a scam. Investors should run a away.

One flight of 5K miles, and how many miles in a car would that fuel? It doesn’t matter if it is magic fuel, it will take a LOT of it.
