I'm curious to hear more about their carbon neutral/alternative fuel source plan. What sorts of fuels can they use instead of regular jet fuel? Lowering that eco impact would get rid of a big part of the concern people have with these planes (assuming as well that the types of people to fly business/first class aren't price sensitive and wouldn't care about more expensive tickets, which seems reasonable)
- bryanlarsen 6y agoLooks like it'll be these guys supplying the fuel: https://www.prometheusfuels.com/ https://www.prometheusfuels.com/ In a decade or so Boom might be competing with SpaceX, who are planning on using suborbital versions of their Starship rocket for long distance hypersonic passenger transport. Starship runs on methane, which is the easiest hydrocarbon to generate in a carbon neutral format. Methanation is a leading candidate for carbon capture for carbon intensive industries like cement production.
