Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom.
We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇
XB-1 flight test used clunky legacy software, while incubating in-house telemetry in parallel.
The stats you saw on the supersonic livestream were powered by our own stack.
Now the legacy software is gone and the engine control room runs entirely on our code.
Stealth is getting more expensive every year. @hermeuscorp is betting speed can do the job cheaper.
They went supersonic in May, and next year they’re aiming for Mach 3.
Two years after our first episode, S3 went back to New Mexico and Atlanta to catch up with the team.
What if the result of AI is that most people don’t need to work as hard to subsist, and people who choose to work even harder can get extra wealthy?
And then ppl will be upset about the divide between the rich/poor but it will really be the divide between the ambitious vs not?
