You should reconsider the name. Not everyone will think of
sonic
boom when the word "boom" comes up in context to aviation.

The name also succinctly states the strongest objection to the idea (noise pollution).

I flew on the Concorde once. I didn't hear any sonic booms ;)

I don't think you can hear the sonic boom when you are traveling above the speed of sound. I think that the sonic boom is only experienced by a stationary object observing the event.

That's the joke.
Startup idea: accelerate paying customers on the ground to Mach 1 to make the sonic boom go away.
