    How Blake Scholl Built The First Independent Supersonic Jet

    Blake Scholl, Jared Friedman

    Boom Supersonic, founded by former Amazon and Groupon engineer Blake Schull, is advancing its XB-1 supersonic prototype to validate the technical feasibility of a next-generation airliner. This initiative aims to replace the Concorde with the Overture, a 65-passenger aircraft utilizing sustainable fuel and sonic boom mitigation technology to enable overland travel. By prioritizing business-class pricing and targeting commercial operations by 2029, the venture seeks to overcome the historical economic failures of supersonic flight through a lean development strategy.
