Yeah, so it was actually not part of the original plan.

Yeah.

So everyone thinks that the point of the whole company was to solve Sonic Boom.

And so of course, we were going to go demonstrate the Sonic Boom solution.

Of course, we were going to push for the repeal of the supersonic ban.

And that was actually not the plan on day one.

The plan on day one was, let's assume we can't change any regulations.

And let's keep the plan as simple as it possibly can be and still find a big enough market.

So what happened was, in January of this year, we did our first supersonic test flight, January 28th.

And in the run-up to that, I asked the team, I was like, hey, we're going to go fly supersonic.

We should probably know what kind of sonic boom we're going to make.

So we can expect it, set people's expectations, be able to talk about it.

And I kind of wanted to be told, oh, it's going to be a real wallop.

You know, I wanted to enjoy that.

And the team came back and said, no, no, no.

You know, we've been talking for years about this thing called mock cutoff where the boom doesn't reach the ground and you don't hear anything.

And we're going to be in mock cutoff.

So there's not going to be a sonic boom.

And I was actually a little disappointed.

So we went and we did that test flight.
