Boom Supersonic

Some sign books, we sign airplanes.

Why do we think supersonic flight will work on Boom Supersonic Overture at scale when it never did on Concorde? Here's the business case for a renaissance in supersonic flight—and a never-seen-before aspect of Overture's design.

Building the supersonic future, one pickleball match at a time. 🏓 “My proudest moment is when I hosted the inaugural pre-flight pickleball.”—Christian Held, Flight Test Engineer, Electrical Power System The day before every test flight, the XB-1 team kicked things off with a no-mercy game of pickleball—a tradition that has snowballed into legend.

“You’re going to crash and burn.” 💥 That’s what people told Blake Scholl when he said he wanted to bring back supersonic flight. ✈️ No aerospace background. No prototype. Just a huge vision and a belief that the Concorde’s dream didn’t have to die. Today, Boom Supersonic has: 💰 $26B in aircraft pre-orders 🤝 Partnerships with United and American 🛩️ A working prototype (XB-1) 🚀 The clearest path to commercial supersonic flight in decades Blake joined me on How I Invest to share: 💡 How he landed $26B in preorders 🏦 Why he skipped Sand Hill and raised directly from LPs 🎯 The underrated strategy of “mission success events” to keep teams motivated on decade-long timelines ❓ Why asking the right question changed everything with Richard Branson 🌍 And why the bigger the mission, the easier it gets to recruit top-tier talent This one’s packed with lessons for anyone building in hard tech, pitching investors, or chasing a dream that sounds impossible!🚀✨ We’d like to thank  Republic and Old City Investment Partners for sponsoring this episode! #BoomSupersonic #Innovation #HardTech #Entrepreneurship #SupersonicFlight #Aerospace #Leadership #StartupLessons #Visionary Link to Podcast in Comments Below 👇

The XB-1 livestream delivered epic views during supersonic flights. But how exactly did we do it? Ruslan Pshichenko walks us through the safety considerations and how we fit an antenna into the backseat of our T-38 chase plane.

From design to in-flight performance, the XB-1 team saw it all. “The coolest part about working on XB-1, to me, is being able to see the full design lifecycle of the aircraft.”—Jonathan Young, Fuel System Engineer

🚨🎙https://lnkd.in/dSVPuyy4 Boom Supersonic has been (deservedly) in the news lately for not only achieving supersonic flight, but even managing to do so without an audible sonic boom. Hear Blake Scholl explain why he even thought to attempt to revive passenger supersonic flight... and how his team pulled off boomless cruise.
