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 @boomsupersonic). 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!!!

I invested more in Boom than I've ever invested in a startup before. But this company is important for America. They'll also make a huge amount of money if they succeed. No one else is anywhere near having a supersonic airliner.

As XB-1 approaches Mach 1, I’m happy to share @boomsupersonic has raised >$100M in new financing, fully funding the first Symphony engine prototype. Major investors in this round include Alex Gerko, @BessemerVP,  Michael Moritz, @paulg, @reidhoffman, @sama, and @ycombinator. (1/3)👇

XB-1 successfully completed its 4th–and fastest–test flight today. Here’s a view from the T-38 chase plane keeping up with XB-1, which reached a max speed of Mach 0.617 (313 KIAS)–more than halfway to breaking the sound barrier at Mach 1. Read more: boomsupersonic.com/flyby/xb-1-liv…

XB-1 Flight Four ✅ Very successful flight this morning. Airplane performed great, with a new top speed of Mach 0.6 and 2.5G maneuvers. Only lowlight: FES didn’t cooperate for M0.6 test point. So we’re pulling it out and shipping to vendor. Maybe back in the air in 3-4 weeks.
