Raw Description
<p>Blake Scholl is the Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, a company he started in 2014 to revive commercial supersonic flight with the Overture airliner, designed to fly at Mach 1.7 and carry 64–80 passengers. </p> <p>A Carnegie Mellon University computer science graduate (BS, 2001), Scholl began his career as a software engineer at Amazon, later owning a $300 million P&L at age 24, and co-founded Kima Labs, acquired by Groupon in 2012. </p> <p>Inspired by seeing Concorde in a museum, he self-taught aerospace engineering to launch Boom, which achieved the first privately developed supersonic flight with the XB-1 demonstrator in January 2025. With orders from United, American, and Japan Airlines, Scholl aims to make sustainable supersonic travel mainstream using 100% sustainable aviation fuel, targeting passenger flights by 2030. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Shawn Ryan Show Sponsors:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://americanfinancing.net/srs"><u>https://americanfinancing.net/srs</u></a></p> <p>NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org</p> <p><a href="https://tryarmra.com/srs"><u>https://tryarmra.com/srs</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://betterhelp.com/srs"><u>https://betterhelp.com/srs</u></a></p> <p>This episode is sponsored.
