Boom will be offering a prizeโ$50k cash and $50k in Boom stockโfor the first amateur-built RC airplane to exceed Mach 1.
Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and thatโs not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

A few seconds on a hand crank, up to 45 seconds in the air! โกโ๏ธ Tom Stantonโs supercapacitor-powered model plane replaces the classic rubber band and combines 3D printed parts with tissue-paper wings to keep things light. Prototyped on the Original Prusa XL, itโs a nice example of how fast iteration helps turn an unusual idea into a working flying machine.

Colibri has reached 100 meters! ๐๐
In 60 seconds, it climbed to 105m, diverted 30m north, and safely landed back to its pad. This is the flight we promised from day one, while no reusable rocket has flown freely in Europe yet!
We did it with a tiny team and under 250kCHF! ๐

I got my camera, set up the tripod, dialed the lens to 70mm & framed it up on a static portion of the sky to capture the 2024 Solar Eclipse periodically for over two hours.. I am so, so proud of the compilation that resulted!๐ฅฒ๐โ๏ธ

Guests at Joby's inaugural Field Trip event last week were able to witness our pre-production prototype aircraft completing a flight test in real life. Here's a little bit of what they experienced!
