I'll be chatting with Blake Scholl. Blake has done more than any other human to make civilian supersonic transport a reality. His company, of course, is Boom in Colorado. Blake, welcome. Good morning.

Let's convert some jet fuel into human progress. There's plenty about boom online and in your interviews, so I'd like to take some different tacks here. This general notion of having things move more quickly. I'm a big fan of that. Do you have a plan for how we could make moving through an airport happen more quickly?
