Being an aviation buff, I think Boom Supersonic is incredibly exciting.
Being a history buff(especially aviation), I wonder where it sits in terms of possibility <—> probability of repeating the tech industry(Microsoft related ties) enabled Eclipse Aviation debacle.
Eclipse Aviation was founded late in the Dot Com Tech bubble with a promise of cheaper Very Light Jet(VLJ) private ownership and air taxis.
Boom Supersonic was founded late in the current tech bubble with a promise of faster business class/first class travel.
My primary concerns would be the fuel burn per passenger seat miles and shorter maintenance intervals required based on current engine technology.
Is Boom SuperSonics a possible indicator of late tech bubble drawing board excess?
I’m actually not trying to be negative, because everything beautiful, cool, and fast is awesome.
I’m just concerned about a possible echoing of the Eclipse historical speedbump.
