ICYMI: In a major shift, the U.S. government is moving to overturn a 50-year ban on civilian supersonic flight over land, a regulation that’s defined the boundaries of commercial aviation since 1973.
It’s a meaningful moment for aerospace and the backdrop for Episode #008 of "Valley of Depth" with @bscholl, founder and CEO of @boomaero.
We cover:
– Why the U.S. banned supersonic flight
– How Boom plans to make supersonic flight sustainable and commercially viable
– The decision to build a new engine in-house
– What the real economics of airline orders look like
– How regulatory shifts, geopolitical dynamics, and climate pressure intersect
– And why faster travel isn’t simply a luxury, it’s a necessity
