TBH: Aerion has more money, better tech and better technical, monetary and partner backing. Boom's timeline is extremely unrealistic. Aerion will fly around 2024 (give them an extra year as complex product timelines slip), and they have first-mover advantage. Aerion has flown numerous airfoil cross-sections on the bellies of research jets and is likely working on PoC for tech & subsystems, and design. Boom's website is mostly PR & wire-frames.. ambiguously indistinguishable from a scam without seeing other forms of validation (i.e., results (full-scale jigs in that hanger in Denver), partnerships, hires, orders). If Boom wants to secure more funding and orders, they're going to need publish more info to facilitate due-diligence. http://www.fortworthbusiness.com/news/bass-backed-aerion-giv... https://boomsupersonic.com/xb-1 (oh boy, strips of carbon fiber and a 1m x 3m hand-laid cross-section) |
