🚨IT’S HAPPENING: Supersonic Flight Is BACK
Thanks to Donald Trump, America is lifting the 52-year-old ban on supersonic travel.
The age of slow, stagnant air travel is OVER.
Boom Supersonic says it’s now “inevitable.”

Thread: how Trump just rebooted the future 🧵
2/ For decades, politicians said supersonic jets were impossible.
The 1973 ban on civilian supersonic flight over U.S. soil held back Concorde, killed the Boeing 2707 in the cradle.
Trump just ended it.

3/ Meet Boom Supersonic.
They’re building a 21st-century Concorde:
🛩 Overture jet
🚀 Mach 1.7
🌍 NYC to London: under 4 hours
🌎 Chicago to London: 4.5 hours
🌐 Global reach, coast-to-coast capability
And now? They can finally fly over America.

4/ Why now?
Boom just broke the sound barrier—without a sonic boom reaching the ground.
That tech is called “boomless cruise.”
Trump saw that and moved fast.
Executive order signed. Ban lifted.
The future? Unleashed.

5/ Trump was crystal clear:
✈️ “The industry has gone backward.”
🎨 Concorde was “a work of art.”
🧠 “The sonic boom was never the problem. We’ve figured it out.”
📈 “We regressed. Now we’re going to progress.”
And just like that: He flipped the switch.

6/ This is more than jets.
It’s about restoring American greatness:
🔧 Engineering
🚀 Aerospace
🛡 Military innovation
💼 Business travel
🇺🇸 Patriotism and pride
Trump just cracked open a trillion-dollar industry—and made it American again.

7/ Boom’s founder says the ban helped kill Boeing.
Think about it:
From the Wright Brothers to 707s, planes got faster.
Then the government said: no more.
And the best minds left aerospace for Google, Amazon, and Meta.
Trump reversed that death spiral.

8/ This is how you win the 21st century.
Not with ESG or DEI.
With:
✅ Engineers
✅ Vision
✅ Real people building real things
✅ The courage to say: we can do better
Trump didn’t just lift a ban. He re-lit the furnace of innovation.

9/ The future was stalled by bad policy.
Trump un-stalled it.
Expect supersonic jets on transatlantic routes soon.
Supersonic private jets over U.S. cities.
Aviation transformed.
Productivity unchained.
We are flying again.
