From Concorde’s failure to Boom’s modern breakthroughs, Blake walks us through the engineering, regulatory, and economic obstacles that once grounded high-speed air travel and how they’re finally being overcome.\nWe explore the design of Boom’s Overture jet, the technology stack behind “boomless” cruise, and the company’s lean, high-stakes path from prototype to production.
