Blake Scholl: Why Plane Speed Stalled, Supersonic Commercial Flight, & Revolutionizing the Engine

Set to fly at Mach 1.7 with 130 orders from major airlines. The founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic likes y'all. Boeing hasn't built a new airplane in 20 years. I mean, it's David and Goliath, but Goliath is like asleep. We're here to bring back supersonic passenger travel and ultimately to make the planet dramatically more accessible.

This whole airplane was built by essentially 50 people. By 50 people. The moment you become an expert, what you're steeped in is the past, and then you're completely used. Courage is not being fearless. Courage is acting despite the fear.

If there's no boom at all, there's nothing to argue about. The world needs supersonic flight. Passengers deserve it. Please welcome Blake Shoel. Good morning.
