Building the Future of Supersonic Travel

Commercial air travel has been stuck below the sound barrier for about 20 years, since the Concorde’s last flight in 2003.

Blake Scholl disagrees...

This week on How I Built This Lab, Blake tells Guy how Boom Supersonic is working to revive the dream of supersonic air travel—and already has orders from major airlines like United and American for their first supersonic aircraft, the Overture. Plus, Blake describes his transformation from tech startup founder to aviation leader and discusses how founder-led companies can foster innovation in commercial flight.
