“If we can fly twice as fast, the world becomes twice as small. You’ll be able to fly Overture for a quarter the price of a Concorde ticket, or about the same

“I think Boom [requires] four ingredients to make it successful. Number one is the engineering execution on the airplanes; that’s the one thing we control directly. Number two is the customer demand,

“All the technology we need to do this already exists. It’s safe, reliable, and efficient. So let’s take that same proven technology and make passenger’s lives more efficient too,” says

“We have to be bold. We can’t stop because something might go wrong. If we do, the risk-free life gets very boring, because we literally don’t leave home” – Blake Scholl, CEO

The future needs friends… pioneers who have the courage to stick their necks out, to take a stand, to support the new, the half-born, while uncertainty remains and failure is still possible. Boom

From my desk at work, I can gaze out the window and watch airplanes take off and land all day. Far too often, my male colleagues and I drop what we’re doing

Today, the Senate Commerce Committee, by agreeing to the Lee-Gardner Amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill, took a monumental step in the direction of more affordable access to supersonic flight. If passed into

And require a new regulation allowing overland supersonic flight Update: The Lee-Gardner Amendment was adopted by the Senate Commerce Committee by unanimous voice vote. AtBoom Supersonic, our mission is to eliminate the barriers

The Boom aircraft is very specifically designed to succeed where Concorde failed. Concorde died because it was too expensive to operate. You can make a good argument that the project was doomed from

What technological advancements will let the Boom passenger jet fly faster than the Concorde without afterburning? Concorde was designed 50 years ago with slide rules and wind tunnels; today we have the benefit

We are pleased to announce that Boom recently raised $33M in Series A funding. The round included 8VC, Caffeinated Capital, Palm Drive Ventures, RRE Ventures, and Y Combinator’s Continuity Fund, as well

There are lots of interrelated causes, but TL/DR we biffed the introduction of supersonics in the 1970s — building large SSTs before we had the tech to make them efficient — and then banned
