E638: Blake Scholl, CEO & Founder of Boom Technology, resurrects the dream of fast flight with his supersonic passenger airplane
After the retirement of the Concorde in 2003, the supersonic passenger jet has become long overdue for re-entering the market. In episode 638 of This Week in Startups, Boom CEO Blake Scholl sits down with Jason to explain how his company is resurrecting the dream of supersonic passenger flight, and why their new jet will be superior to the failed Concorde design. “The Concorde was 1950’s technology. Today we’ve got better aerodynamics, we’ve got software optimized aerodynamics, we’ve got better engines, better materials…” The list goes on as Blake explains not only the feasibility, but the reality of this exciting new venture!
