OK that’s it. Putting an eco-friendly label on a supersonic jet is beyond absurd; that’s a Joe Isuzu level of lying.

Have they figured out how to solve the sonic boom issue yet? Else it’s just flying over water isn’t it?

I can’t say too much but the good Mr. Vice has a “reputation,” Art. I guess that’s his license? “Joe Isuzu” … that’s good. I’m gonna pass that along to some folks.
Planet saving electric people movers for thee and supersonic jets for me (cuz I have the money and you don’t).
Is THIS what you were referring to, Art? You made me laugh.

Not really absurd if your using SAF synthetic fuels made from your trash.
NASA’s helping develop “Boomless Cruise” - the boom won’t reach the ground apparently.
Has the beast flown yet?
2023 seems optimistic for a new design.
(Note it is fast but not as fast as Concorde, and Boom’s design is intended to be a bit faster yet (at the cusp of a sharp drop in efficiency.
Pax capacity is not as different as might be assumed from figures, as Boom’s airliner probably has higher density seating on the theory that flights are relatively short).
Clarifying:
Boom plans to be a bit faster than the Concorde.
Sonic boom, materials for higher temperatures, and engines are considerations in choosing speed. Boom is going for maximum, business plan not based on overland flying. (Boom’s demonstrator may be in part intended to prove out engine inlets for the speed. It is not faithful overall to the envisioned end product.)
Yea, that’s the one. Thanks for posting. I did not know that we could post URL’s. Well done!
