Will be interesting to see what progress occurs and if their self-admitted transition challenge is why the big players in this field haven’t done so already. Looks like they’re initially well funded and with some ambitious young engineers with the right backgrounds. Wish them luck and hope that their tech progresses. Even in bootstrap mode, they have an ambitious goal that could exhaust far larger startup capital funding.
Yeh, I worked with a young woman who paid for and took a "tourist" out and back in the Concorde. Note that the Concorde no longer flies. When I was a very small lad, Boeing proposed the SST, SuperSponic Transport. It died a'bornin'. Too expensive to build and fly. Can't fly over land because of the sonic booms. My point is, all of this has been done before and no one has ever made the money work. No one ever will. Governments can subsidize the living daylights out of supersonic transport but that quickly looks to the average citizen like what it is; taxes subsidizing the pleasure and convenience of the wealthy. Done, in fact, a half-century ago! It's like fusion power. Nifty-keeno tech that will never pan out. Every engineer is supposed to learn something about economics and accounting but you sure wouldn't know it when you see projects like this.
Indeed a typo I made. How to I salvage this? The UK one Linden last name from places called Lindon in Lincolnshire, Linden End, etc
