And then long range, it should be supersonic, ultimately for everybody.

Um, you have 15, 20 minutes on a typical flight.

Oh, uh, similar challenges or not, not, uh, not really.

Uh, we, we, we did look at it.

The first iteration of the design, it actually couldn't slow down fast enough.

It was too slippery.

And so we, we did end up putting speed brakes on the design.

Uh, so you don't just kind of glide in forever.

Oh, it's going to be so much fun.

So I have gone supersonic, but in a fighter trainer.

So I got to fly along with our test pilots when they were training to fly our XB-1 airplane.

So I was in backseat of a T-38 with our chief test pilot.

We took off out of Mojave.

And he gets it off of the runway.

And he says, okay, Blake, your airplane.

I'm like, oh, okay, my controls.

And we're climbing out towards the supersonic corridor.

And he's like, Blake, you got to increase your climb rate.

So you're going to go supersonic before you're in the test space if you don't kind of pull back a little bit.

So we did.
