Look up the new "Boom" by Overture. Hoping we see them in the skies by 2030.

They're going to need an engine first. They literally don't have one.

It's literally just a model right now. Usually takes a bit longer than that to develop an aircraft, test parts, get manufacturing set up, get it approved/qualified by the FAA, then sell it. Not to mention how many companies and "idea" planes pop up already.

Unfortunately, without an engine or half-way working prototype, they haven't really even taken the first steps in development, at least not the challenging ones. If they already had made progress, I'd say they have a chance, but it's still way too early to have any hope.
