Rolls Royce, which makes airplane jet engines in addition to extra fancy automobiles, is ending it partnership with Boom, which is intending to build a supersonic jet. Though the article makes it sound like this is an amicable parting, I'd like to know who Boom is actually going to have building their engines.
Because to go very fast, you have to have a very good engine.
Rolls-Royce pulls out of Boom’s supersonic jet program
" "We are appreciative of Rolls-Royce’s work over the last few years, but it became clear that Rolls’ proposed engine design and legacy business model is not the best option for Overture’s future airline operators or passengers. Later this year, we will announce our selected engine partner and our transformational approach for reliable, cost-effective and sustainable supersonic flight," Boom outlined in a statement."
I would hazard that Boom's business success is going to be very contingent on who that partner is.
