Boom CEO Offers $100,000 Prize for First Amateur RC Plane to Break Mach 1
Boom Supersonic founder and CEO Blake Scholl announced on July 2 via X a $100,000 prize — $50,000 cash plus $50,000 in Boom stock — for the first amateur-built RC aircraft to exceed Mach 1. The challenge was sparked within hours by a viral post from college student Tomas Salvo, who claims his 5 kg carbon-fiber jet RC plane 'Reaper' can reach 500 mph.
