    Nothing special or revolutionary. We had the Concord and the A12. America always likes to act as if they created something amazing when this tech has been developed for decades. What is so special about this?? The platform looks very unstable during takeoff which is going to create massive issues with sidewinds in windy European cities. Fail

      The grounding of the Concord was due to cost of maintenance & cost of keeping it in service…that’s why it was carefully piecesed & sent to museum

      Not really historically significant but it’s a massive milestone for this planes engines being proven to work and looks promising for the overture plane. 2029 is the date they got set for it so 2030s we could be back to supersonic civilian aircrafts.

    Not minding that this was smaller yet it took more time to go airborne…surely this is not the first time something like this happened but the first will never be able to compete with the latest in anything, stuff like noise reduction in the cabin, the position of the after-burners, the tires, the fuel tanks & its strength, automation & computing, surely its gonna be a fly-by-wire thing…another thing is that USA???????? version of the Concord was about entering service before the grounding of supersonic flights….so I guess its just to tell the airliners to start getting reading to pay for Pilot training fees for SuperSonic flights…. 2️⃣0️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ will see awhole loads of changes on earth ????

    Supersonic travel is socially irresponsible due to the huge amount of fuel necessary to travel that fast.
    And this plane looks like someone pulled an F-107 out of a museum and made a few mods.
    Probably re-sculpted the fuselage with Bondo.

    • @motocrossedful

      January 30, 2025 at 7:18 pm

      Extremely unintelligent response. The plane was made from scratch and parts were molded in house by the Boom organization. The design is for test purposes as it will have much of the design incorporated into the new passenger plane which is the ultimate goal.
      Electric vehicles are socially irresponsible due to how the electricity is generated for them to charge with. Amazon has a diesel generator producing electricity for charging their fleet(s) of electric vans. In addition there is currently no way of responsible lithium mining in this current time.

    And a brick can fly if it goes fast. If this was 1977, it would be something. You built a model airplane that broke the sound barrier.
