Purchased the 250 @BoomSupersonic with @XMoney
This is the only way to get a supersonic airliner for $250. The full-size one costs slightly more. Limited edition of 250.

250 years ago, America declared independence. Since then: the telegraph, the lightbulb, the airplane, the moon landing. We built this model to honor that lineage — and to remind us the story isn't finished. Only making 250.

I'm thrilled (and admittedly surprised) at the enthusiastic response to the America 250 Overture desktop models. We're going to make these a limited edition of 250. So they will probably sell out quickly.

At the suggestion of @dasutherland, Boom is making beautiful America 250 Overture desktop models for $250. Order link below.

It’s easy to be nostalgic for a past we imagine was better than today. But if I had a choice of where and when to live, I’d choose America—in her future. There is much left to build and much left to liberate. Let’s leave this great country better than we found it.

Compressor guide vanes are now going into the compressor split case. Some of these are instrumented with temperature and pressure sensors so we can measure exactly how the engine is performing.

In America’s first 250 we went from horses to jets. Let’s make the next 250 even better. Happy birthday to the greatest country yet.

Now that we're actively building a turbine and a turbine factory, we've moved to video updates for our investors. Here is our Q2 investor update, with just one juicy tidbit redacted for now. Hint: there is an Easter egg at the end🥚

Boom will be offering a prize—$50k cash and $50k in Boom stock—for the first amateur-built RC airplane to exceed Mach 1.
Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days. #aerospace

The way to move faster is to move faster. Sometimes Boom is able to overcome supply chain bottlenecks simply by responding to opportunity faster than anyone else. We bought 2GW of power metal that was unexpectedly available the day after Christmas, while the competition was still hung over on eggnog. Today we bought 12,000lb of titanium alloy and a $700k vacuum oven, both normally take 1 year but we get right away because we cut deals supersonically.

Our suppliers have fun writing BOOM whenever they make something for us. We've now received 2GW worth of powder metal superalloy, custom made to our spec, principally for turbine HPT rotor disks. (Small portion of metal in this pic.)

BREAKING: FAA officially announced the rulemaking to legalize supersonic flight, including the Boomless Cruise ("Mach cutoff") approach we demonstrated on XB-1. This is a major step toward the supersonic renaissance.

We're so back! Congrats @realDonaldTrump @SecDuffy on making America boom (quietly)!
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CLEARING THE RUNWAY FOR SUPERSONIC FLIGHT ✈️ Today, as directed by @POTUS's EO, @USDOT proposed new rules for noise limits instead of speed limits for next generation supersonic aircraft. American ingenuity broke the sound barrier once before. Supersonic innovation means quieter, faster, and safer travel for people and goods across the country.

The Symphony high pressure turbine rotor is fully assembled, as are compressor stages 1/2. Current hold-up is a late supplier building the Stage 3 blisk. This is why we're vertically integrating—legacy suppliers don't move at Boom speed. Next engine will have Boom-made blisks.

Episode 4 of "Build Supersonic" is live. Instead of spending years in design reviews, 85% of our engine core hardware is already on the floor and assembly is underway. 🚀 Watch @bscholl and Ruslan Pshichenko look inside the hardware rolling out—the ultimate data-gathering machine built to rapidly validate our designs and deliver thrust for Superpower and Symphony.
