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”.

Nvidia used to make their money with graphics cards
You know the rest

Boom tried to make a SSBJ
Found out that there is more money in AI power generation

Then there's the bubble

This weekend, chatted with a friend of a friend. Which is tangentially related, since the lead test pilot for this demonstrator is also a friend of a friend. Anyway, the first friend of a friend, left the Navy, leveraged his expertise (if you could call it that for an aviator?) in turbine engines, and built a business purchasing, rebuilding/overhauling random turbine engines of a certain class, and selling them to data centers. This friend of a friend just bought his first Ferrari and his wife standing next to him said it was awesome. It is, quote, "stupid money". The likes of which his airline friends won't ever see. I can't imagine how much money is tied up in this bubble, and how hard it is gonna crash
