Mk 1 is our second fully-integrated vehicle built in just the past year. This rate of iteration highlights the new standard Hermeus has set for the pace of aircraft development: One aircraft per year. Each aircraft in the Quarterhorse program progressively increases in complexity, building on the learnings of prior builds.

What most people don't realize about Boom is that if they ship an airliner at all, every airline that flies internationally will have to buy it or be converted against their will into a discount airline, flying tourists subsonically.

Civilian supersonic flight returns... Tuesday. Having worked toward this moment for over a decade, this feels surreal. A few reflections 🧵?

The HEAT is on! We have officially brought our new High Enthalpy Air-Breathing Test Facility (HEAT) online with a series of successful tests of the @prattandwhitney F100 engine. HEAT will serve as an asset for military and commercial engine testing, boosting the efficiency and affordability of supersonic and hypersonic test infrastructure.

Ground testing at Edwards Air Force Base complete – first flight up next. The ground test campaign was completed in just 21 days and culminated in 130-knot taxi tests with full afterburner.

Thank you, Mr. President. I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust that you have placed in me. President Trump’s historic landslide election gave new hope and strength to the American people and was a reminder that brighter days are ahead — both at home and abroad. On November 5, the world witnessed a movement that only Donald Trump could inspire—a once-in-a-generation political realignment uniting Americans of every background around a shared vision: that we can once again live in pride, peace, and prosperity. A guiding lesson from my time in the technology industry and as Commissioner on the @USCC_GOV is that the economic is strategic, and the strategic is economic. President @realdonaldtrump and @JDVance have laid out an aggressive agenda to face the twin convulsions of technological and geopolitical change, and ensure America wins the economic contests that define this century. The State Department will play a critical role in acting on this vision. I look forward to earning the support of the U.S. Senate and working with @MarcoRubio to implement President Trump's agenda. Now is the time to make history and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

🚨BREAKING President-elect Donald Trump has announced he will nominate Jared Isaacman to serve as NASA Administrator. Isaacman is a Jewish entrepreneur and commercial astronaut, having founded Draken International, a private Air Force provider.

The legendary lakebeds of Edwards Air Force Base

Nearly all the Extras in this famous scene were French expatriates & so the tears shed during the singing of ‘La Marseillaise’ were real as the fate of France during filming was entirely uncertain. CASABLANCA (1942) Premiered 82yrs ago today.

Future wars are all about drones & hypersonic missiles. Fighter jets piloted by humans will be destroyed very quickly.

Star Trek: First Contact was released 28 years ago today. Another 5+ years and we'll be halfway between the film's release and First Contact Day. 😄
