I also disagree. As a fan of aviation, theres never enough experiments going on. We need to stop it with this carbon virtue signaling when everyone of us here would be glad to own a used 2017 Bombardier Global 6000
I applaud Boom's efforts I just don't know if its viable because if Airbus isn't working on it then it probably isn't safe/worth the insurance upkeep.
Airbus lost a bunch of money developing the A380 and are understandably nervous to undertake any more high risk development projects. This is actually a great case for an aviation startup. If Airbus failed to develop a modern SST that might bankrupt them and disrupt the entire industry, but if Boom fails it only destroys a nascent startup that no one depends upon yet.
