Re:Boom (YC W16) – Supersonic Passenger Airplanes by Axsuul on Monday March 21, 2016 @06:04PM (#11332512)
I wouldn't put a passenger jet in the same category as rockets when it comes "things that could blow up". The safety factor of an airplane is substantially higher than a rocket. The Concorde was even one of the safest jets before it had its first hull loss in 2000 due to a metal strip on the runway that punctured its fuel tank. Boom's jet is more likely to fail due to external factors such as human error or negligence.
