That wing plan form looks familiar.


Fairy FD2 and SB221

Damn thin too. Where's the fuel?

Bit of an ouch moment at about 8 minutes. "We have drawn our skills from Gulfstream, Spacex....Amazon" totally ignoring the big Boeing image on screen. How the mighty have fallen.

Speaking of Boeing, One of the things we were told about CFRP by Boeing was that it doesn't perform well at high temperatures. Interesting that Spacex have dumped CFRP for their new Starship orbital vehicle to stainless steel for that very reason.

Good luck to Boom though. Hope it comes to fruition.
