A couple of reality checks from the article -
"The deal is the second firm order in the last two years for Boom, still years from building its first commercial airplane. " ...
"Still, Overture is years away from becoming a reality. "
No mention of the dollar value of the so-called nonrefundable deposits from the agreements.
Nor discussion whether cheap stock or stock options were given to entice ostensible aircraft buyers;
Such stock purchases, if any occurred, would give a new meaning to the phrase " Boom or Bust " :)

I am old enough to remember the USA's SST and all of the airline sign-ons and the Concorde and all of the sign-ons.
........... and where did all of this go?
Nowhere.

Nowhere.
I am old enough to remember when Pan Am took deposits for tickets to the moon.
We’ll be get a decent idea when/if the XB-1 test article finally flies.
I imagine now it’ll have be redesigned to accommodate Overture’s 4 engine design. And they still need engines similar to what Concorde 1.5 (or B) would have been…supersonic speed without afterburners.
I have high hopes for it..though I’m not sold the redesign.

this aircraft will not be the least bit helpful to the upper atmosphere where it will operate. This is another irresponsible intrusion into planetary global warming, with the astounding comment from the president of the company saying that people want this, etc. etc. Perhaps the grandchildren of these passengers will feel less kindly to the company and their selfish ancestors.
