Was in Mojave today for the first Boom supersonic flight test! Amazing accomplishment, after over a decade of work. Congrats to the entire team!

This is super exciting IF the service comes to market at a price point that is within reach for real people. If it’s relegated to Concorde elite experience for the private jet crowd — what does it really matter? I’m hoping for a revolution in both tech and affordability.

Yes. A Concorde ticket was like $20k. Boom will start at about $5k, not economy class but comparable to a business class ticket. The long-term plan is to continue to bring costs down until it is affordable to the average flyer.
