Boom supersonic

More places know how to make nuclear bombs than advanced turbine engines. My scepticism jumped 1000% as soon as Rolls-Royce departed. Of course I hope I'm wrong. Also, maybe we shouldn't call an aircraft company a synonym for explosion?
 
If they make the engine work, even with ground generators, they've won.
For a nobody company to design then PRINT (yeah yeah, "additive manufacturing" bleh bleh bleh), and run it will be an astounding accomplishment. After they can just print money.
(that's a HUGE 'if')

The deal with Open AI to make generators was absolutely brilliant!

All of the old CF6's and similar engines have already been spoken for with power generation so they had to get in line for GE90 variants as they became available or take an alternate route.

Rolls-Royce departed as fast as their fan blades from a pearl engine!

Are we going to start seeing the same issues we did around ram and graphics cards with airplane engines?
 
Originally they claimed it would fly in 2025 and carry passengers in 2029. I doubt this will ever happen at “boom”.
