So it's just Concord 2.0?
If heard they were trying to do that again, I hope they've improved the safety of it.

Basically. But slower.
Not gonna travel on something named Boom. Or Crash or anything that sounds either explosion-y or 'out-of-control'-y.

Maybe Zoom would have been better? (My guess is they were going for the association with Sonic Boom.)
At least they aren't calling it Titanic...

Yeah, I'd guess they thought they were being clever, and making it sound fast.
Oh that reminds me of a story were a baby furniture company called a cot Lolita. I think it was quickly renamed.

We have a local radio station called "BOOM 97.3" because the call sign is CHBM. It doesn't seem to be doing them any harm.
I immediately caught the sonic boom implications of the name, so it doesn't bother me. The only place you could use supersonic flight is over the oceans since a sonic boom is destructive, so I would have to have my passport on board.

I suppose they could have called the plane "Sonic" which could also imply sonic boom.
I have a vague feeling that name has been used for something though...

Yeah, its a retro fast-food burger place in the States where the wait staff are on skates or something.
Also there's the hedgehog...

They don't outright state what meat it is they serve at Sonic, but I have my suspicions!

I know people used to roast and eat hedgehogs. I am not sure if they have ever been made into burgers, though.

You have to run them over first, so they're nice and flat. Then lightly fry them.
In all seriousness I really like hedgehog videos on YouTube, usually cute UK wildlife stuff, pet-reactions or the like; the only real downside is the legion of Sonic The Hedgehog fans in the comments making dumb in-jokes about theIR 'lore' or whatever.

I see too many flat hedgehogs!

What about my me?
The test plane looks a bit small to take on passengers, but I suppose they are planning on upscaling. To be honest, my main concern, after going to the webpage, is that the creators seem full of themselves. Instead of a few salient facts, you are presented with several videos, the first of which is two hours long. Do they really think anyone wants to watch that? I sense that they would be like other inventor billionaires who won't listen to concerns about their products. "You don't understand my vision!" 🙄

Not just inventors! Art in particular, whatever the media, is susceptible to such.
