Much negativity results from 50 years of supersonic biz-jet daydreaming without anything progressing past airshow models. It's basically the original vapourware. Even experts like Dassault and Sukhoi, with more supersonic experience than any current company, have shied away. And Dassault is reknowned for its biz-jets; if anyone could do it I'd bet on them. Gulfstream looked at it from the other direction, potentially moving-up from big subsonic biz-jets to an even more exclusive and expensive aircraft. They too decided against it, even with Sukhoi's input into supersonic design. Beyond the big companies there have been a string of smaller dreamers. Jane's "All the World's Aircraft" from through the 1980s is testament to that. Can Boom do it? Possibly so, but given that they're building on the same technology as the rest of the aerospace industry then I don't see why they're any different. This isn't a problem that software can solve ( unlike Space-X ).
