Is the reason for no cross country flights because of Sonic Boom restrictions that have not been resolved yet? Also impressive that you are able to get New York to London at 3.4 hours as CNN pegged it at 4 hours: http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/26/...

Electric cars (e.g. Tesla) has a proven market: people will buy cars and will buy better cars. Supersonic jet? Not entirely sure, especially after the horrific crash that ended Concorde. Even during the Concorde era, it's interesting to find out the unit economics and investigate why no one has ever created a successor since then. Curious if there is a proven market. For instance, are the airlines gonna purchase the supersonic jet)? How many passengers are willing to pay the high price for saving the time (after all, time-saving would be the stronger value proposition than "a different experience")? But anyways, bravos to the creators of the product of this scale! 👍

An unfortunate name considering one of the biggest points against supersonic flight is the deafening sonic boom.

Not sure about the name...It also felt strange to click on "GET IT" but great stuff anyhow, Concorde is born again.

If Boom happens, hopefully they will find a way to operate in California, something Concorde wasn't able to pull off long term. SF/LA ✈ UK/EU in under 5 hours 🙏

@mahemoff We'll be able to operate out of any international airport in California (flying SF->Tokyo, LA->Sydney, etc.). The main restriction today is a ban on supersonic flight over land in the US. Until the regulations are updated, we'll focus on routes that are mostly over water, where supersonics can offer a big speedup.

With the rise of Internet access of commercial flights, people will care less about getting from A to B slightly faster...

@trentonbricken Internet sure makes air travel more tolerable. But we're not talking about "slightly faster" here though. We're talking 6 hours LA/Sydney instead of 15.
