We asked @bscholl about managing sonic booms.
"You can make it go away entirely by making a U-turn and go up space, but it only works up to ~Mach 1.3."
"That's around a 3.5-hour flight from SF to New York, which is a win."
"But if you want to go faster than that, you need to convince yourself that the boom is not a problem."
Supersonic is back, baby!
On January 28th, Geppetto broke the sound barrier aboard the first privately-developed supersonic jet.
And today…@realDonaldTrump broke the sound barrier…permanently!
In 1973, a ban was placed on supersonic flight over the US. It was supposed to protect the public from sonic booms. But instead it banned innovation. The result crippled progress for half a century. The trend of ever-increasing flight speeds ground to a halt.
However, today we can celebrate–quiet supersonic flight is allowed!
The supersonic race is on and a new era of commercial flight can begin. Unleashed, my bet is very much on 🇺🇸(and @boomaero).
Please join me in thanking @realDonaldTrump and @USDOT @SecDuffy for their leadership—as well as @SenTedBuddNC and @RepTroyNehls for introducing the bipartisan SAM act. And to the team @FAANews for leading us in the next steps for boomless flight!
Make America Supersonic!!!
