Welp, it was a fun fantasy while it lasted. I posted here since both Flex and Net said they had a spot in line to purchase these.

Hopefully the Lockheed Martin X-59 will make it. They’re much stronger financially and working with NASA on the no boom technology. I don’t know if Aerion had access to that technology and data from NASA.

That's a technology demo platform for low-boom. It's not a production design, I'm pretty sure it will fly, it's about ready, next year IIRC.
