- UberFly 3y ago"After careful consideration, Rolls-Royce has determined that the commercial aviation supersonic market is not currently a priority for us and, therefore, will not pursue further work on the program at this time. It has been a pleasure to work with the Boom team and we wish them every success in the future." Guess it was a cost thing. Wasn't worth their time. Not enough customers probably.
- musiciangames 3y agoNot sure of the relative timing, but the new CEO is super focused on profitability/cash flow. In comparison to what he described as a ‘burning platform’ when he took over. So supersonic would have needed a brilliant business case to have survived his strategy. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/rolls-royce-track-new-ceo-finds-savings-2023-05-11/ https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/rolls-roy...
