To all of those saying Boom has pivoted from supersonic jets to power turbines: please stop, this is an important misunderstanding.
A pivot is when you switch from X to Y. Boom has added Y along the path to X.
We're shipping one part of our jet (the engine) first as a standalone product (Y), then as an integrated part of our jet (X).
Maybe someone someday will invent a term for this kind of strategy shift. It is not a pivot. For now, I'm calling it a boomerang.
I hereby swear on my tombstone that we're not just shipping a supersonic jet, we're building a whole product roadmap of them.
And we're not done until we have to teach our kids that supersonic flight wasn't always normal.

Seen here in a promo video, the SR.45 Princess remains the largest all-metal flying boat to have ever been constructed. Unfortunately, at that time, in the early 50s, the era of the flying boat was ending, and it never went past prototype stages.

Yikes. Fuel burn savings of next-gen engines ‘may never offset decreased reliability of shorter service intervals relative to the current midlife engines’ says Chromalloy CEO Chris Celtruda in opening keynote #AEUSA #AeroEngines

I’ve been talking about flying taxis for 7.5 years now, and it’s mainly because of this @AvWeekGuy who I called up back in 2018 and asked if leaving Rolls-Royce for a startup was a good idea or not… fwiw, his advice was solid and he wasn’t wrong!

Just two months after engine integration, we’ve integrated the tail and wings on our Quarterhorse Mk 2 vehicle.
The curvature of Mk 2's wings helps control shock formation across the wing and its control surfaces, stabilizing the aircraft's transition into supersonic. The tail, assembled at our LA facility, is tuned for stability and controllability at high and low speeds alike.
The build continues... fast planes fast.

A few months back I took another career pivot. I enjoy working on projects that get things done fast — especially critical during the sunset phase of my career. @anduriltech

The X-59 has completed its first flight! 🎉✈️
A new era of supersonic flight begins with Skunk Works® and @NASA.

Say what you will about how long it took to build but this is the goofy look X-planes are supposed to have.

X-59 is wild!

Once you’re lucky, twice you’re good.
Boom test pilots won the Iven C Kincheloe award—the highest honor a test pilot can receive—two years in a row. I believe this is a first.

Big weekend for Boom at the 69th Annual @SETP_ORG Symposium! ✈️⚡ Geppetto won the prestigious Iven C. Kincheloe Award for flight test excellence—marking the second year in a row that Boom has won this award! Additionally, Erin Young and Geppetto took home the Ray E. Tenhoff Award, recognizing the most outstanding technical paper. Huge congrats to both of them for proving what’s possible at supersonic speed! 🏆🏆

Symphony engine development is on fire—and it's about to be, literally. Single-nozzle combustion testing rig is getting set up and will be turning kerosene into human progress in next few weeks.
Thx to @GeorgiaTech for awesome support with a world-class combustion lab.
