The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

On the other hand, all the conventional wisdom 10 years ago was it was impossible to start an airplane company.

The last new commercial airplane company before boom, 1921 Douglas Aircraft, it had been a century.

There are all these reasons why it's capital intensive, takes a while, highly regulated, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

There are all these reasons.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

Theoretically, it's hard.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

For whatever reason, we were just crazy and have to go do it anyway.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

Then we got far enough along that I don't think it makes any sense for someone to start another company right now to compete with us.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

Okay, boom's 10 years ahead.

and counting.

#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

So unless you've got a very different idea about how to go about this, it doesn't make sense to compete with us.

On the other hand, we did just get supersonic flight legalized.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

So that opens up, when you can't fly supersonic over CONUS, there is basically no market for a supersonic private jet, but now that you can, there is.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

So I will be disappointed if nobody else does that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

If nobody else does, we will, because it should exist.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

But my hope is somebody else gets there before we do.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

Yeah.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

Well, the president opened the doors to that by legalizing supersonic flight over land.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

That market is wide open.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

I don't know anybody with a Gulfstream that wouldn't want to upgrade.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#225 Blake Scholl - Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic

Somebody should do that.
