I will bet money that if this plane ever starts carrying passengers, Boom will immediately start lobbying for overland supersonic bans to be lifted. Shareholders would demand it.

Pardon my lack of enthusiasm for yet another fight between privatized gains at the cost of socialized harms.

In Europe they have no chance, if the Airplane makes boom, your out.

[kenneth]

Europe being the only geo to actually deploy a supersonic jet commercially…

[nix23]

If your talking about the Concorde...that's exactly why it would never happen anymore.

[petre]

It depends where it booms. If it's at 10 km above and nobody hears it, or above international waters, it doesn't matter too much.

[nix23]

For sure you hear it above 10km, it just does no destroy a window.

> Supersonic operations over land must be conducted above 30,000 feet or, when below 30,000 feet, in specially designated areas approved by Headquarters United States Air Force, Washington, D.C., and the Federal Aviation Administration.
