		vonmoltke on Jan 28, 2025 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Boom XB-1 First Supersonic Flight [video] The product line was effectively cancelled by the oil crisis of 1973 and severe economic issues in the mid 70s. It had nothing to do with a crash (of an airplane; there was a market crash involved).

I still feel like it was on the path to repopularization when it crashed, and wasn't given a second chance.
