Wow. I just looked up and saw 12 of them in the sky.

I also remember watching those cable shows on Discovery Channel, like “2000 Plus”, in the 1990s.

Also, probably 10% For The Big Guy to get this story published, etc.

Other than being a fixed delta wing rather than a variable geometry wing, it looks a lot like Boeings SST design from the 60’s.

The plane pictured sure looks like it holds more than 80 passengers.

It’s amusing they call themselves Boom. One of the problems with the Concorde was of course sonic booms so that it had to be well away from a city or over the ocean before it could go supersonic. Will this thing have quieter sonic booms?

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

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

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