Anyone keeping a casual eye on aviation news will be aware of numerous new ventures over the decades promising all kind of next generation supersonic or even hypersonic aircraft we’re supposed to see within our lifetime. Which invariably fade into nothingness as quickly as they had risen.
But I’m starting to get the feeling Boom Supersonic is a serious venture, and one that increasingly looks might happen. Not necessarily succeed long term, but become a reality. They must at least be viable; you’d never see blue chip airlines like American Airlines placing orders for nonsensical paper airplanes. And they seem to be progressing nicely with their program

Whereas not as fast or awe-inspiring as Concorde, it’d be great to see supersonic commercial aircraft flying again. What do our resident pilots/ industry buffs think of its chances?

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Pretty sure the airlines that have expressed an interest haven't actually opened their wallets yet, but yeah, this does seem to be more of a thing than anything we've seen since Concorde.

Some shots from West London Aero club's annual members day, (I was a guest, not a member). No joyride this year for me and the display was down on last year as I think they had their display ceiling lowered because a naughty Seafire pilot may have breached Heathrow airspace last year...but still a good day out. Some really nice cars in the car display as well.
Those Tiger Moths were holding it together well considering the gusts of 30mph.
