Today, Boom (YC W16) made history. They successfully broke the sound barrier (3 times!) with XB-1, the first civil supersonic jet made in America. Congrats to Blake Scholl 🛫, Chief Test Pilot Tristan "Gepetto" Brandenburg, and the entire Boom Supersonic team!
Very cool! I’ll also note a new feature I noticed this week on United Airlines app — they have a “boarded” counter live tracking boarding passes scanned out of total passengers booked so you can real time monitor progress. Great new feature and one of its kind!
