Boom? Well, I guess Acme was already taken. This sounds like Ford designing a car for women and calling it “The Probe”

Looks like Concorde but seats up to 45 passengers less and is no faster. Whatever? I guess Leonardo and his posse just need to get to the Global Warming conferences a little quicker.

Bookmark. This plane will never fly. Certainly not on biofuels by 2030.

“Still, Overture is years away from becoming a reality. Boom will build the jet at a new manufacturing plant in North Carolina and expects to roll out the first model in 2025, with the first flight in 2026. If the flight tests and certification process goes as scheduled, Boom says the Overture will enter commercial service by the end of the decade.”

That is an incredibly aggressive schedule in light of the challenges they face.

I’m going to try to get some odds on that happening to their timeline in Vegas.

Unveiling a new plane when no one will be able to afford travel is ridiculous.

Maybe the seating capacity is reflective of the after effects of the planned depopulation by our new global criminal cabal.

This is some kind of scam, or hustle.

Is there a “green” angle to this somewhere?

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

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.

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

I traveled at Mach 2 in the Concorde.
