“Wind or solar.”
Battery...with aerial recharging at some point over the Atlantic/Pacific.

As a former aviation engineer that has worked on several certification projects you are correct.

Is it me, or is “Boom” not the greatest name for a company that makes jetliners?

Whenever I hear the term “Biofuels” can’t help but think the exhaust gasses from the engines will smell like the aftermath of Three Bean Salad and Cabbage Soup, and the sonic boom will be more like “brooooooom”.

Pretty impressive if the plane has the range for TransPacific routes. As with the original Concorde, high fuel prices might spell doom for the new supersonic transport. Notice the flights are over oceans as overland supersonic flights are banned.

My favorite was the first GM electric car they named the “Impact.” That’s not what you want to think about in a car.
It was quickly rechristened as the bland “EV1.”

It's a pure delta wing, like this one. I'm pretty sure the Delta Dart was a real design.

The “Delta Dart” maybe so, the rendering of the “Boom” not so much. CG and thrust position all wrong

It will be known as The Davos Express.
Only Politicians and Billionaires will fly it.

That sounds like “eFUEL”. Atmospheric carbon from CO2 and hydrogen from H20.

I traveled at Mach 2 in the Concorde.

Is it me, or is “Boom” not the greatest name for a company that makes jetliners? It's probably better than "Lawn Dart".

“Wham-O” is a toy company…aren’t you glad it’s not an airline? Would ya get in the big Wham-O bird, huh?

Let me know when you see one fly, then we can argue about it.
