"First flight: coming soon" -- so they haven't released any new information. This video from December was more interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jAH-51feAA


As someone who grew up sad that we didn't have giant swing-wing American-Steel-bodied Boeing SST's, I have been hurt before and I don't believe for a minute that there's an airline that would buy any of these for passenger service. This is going to be one of those "ultra-elite Musk-Class threat" planes used by like less than a hundred people worldwide.
