And so the airplane's a cartoon.

If you know anything about supersonic airplanes, you know this is not credible.

But I think the tell was they gave it a product number that was the next product number in the Comac roadmap.

Comac is the Chinese Boeing.

So I think they're dead serious about it, but we're ahead.

We've actually built and flown an airplane and they've got a cartoon rendering.

We haven't seen an airplane fly yet.

Now, they've got fighter jets, and fighter jets and supersonic airliners are not the same, but they're things you can cross-learn.

I think we have to take this incredibly seriously.

I don't think we can rest on our laurels.

I think absent the action to repeal the supersonic ban in the US, aviation was going to go to China just like everything else has.

This is like watching a slow-motion plane crash.

Boeing hasn't built a new airplane in 20 years.

They can't...

Some days they can't competently produce the ones they've already designed.

China's moving forward as fast as they can.

That's not going to end well.

We have to invent and build the next generation of airplanes here or else we know how this ends.

It ends just like it does for every other kind of manufacturing.

So it has to do with most businesses are unwilling to disrupt themselves.
