Boom Supersonic founder Blake Scholl teases a new titanium compressor blisk, offering a hardware milestone without technical specs

@bscholl Blisks in jet engines, too takes multi-stage 5-axis CNC machining or high-speed milling to carve each aerofoil with micron-level accuracy. Turbocharger impellers typically operate in the range of 80,000 to 300,000 RPM while these at most reach 15000 RPM

@bscholl If only there were a place where we could mine massive amounts of Titanium, REE's and PGM's in a cooled Magma Ocean (dark areas). 😉🚀

@bscholl hey man nice blisk

@bscholl praise be!

@bscholl When can we see a static fire if this beauty?

@bscholl That would make an awesome ceiling fan.

@bscholl I’m telling you Blake Scholl they are too thin.

@bscholl Not biblical food.

@bscholl That's beautiful work.

@bscholl Stunning!

@bscholl When you make the cover of Time magazine the photographer will position you in front of that to make you look like the Sun King.

@bscholl Must be a high compression ratio.

@bscholl Summoning forth is the easy part. Early LFW blisks had eye-watering reject rates. What alloy?

@DanielleFong @bscholl Sick blisk was right there

@bscholl Awesome photo of blades and Viking blade-maiden. 😄

@danaen803 @bscholl Great guide! 🌙 Copernicus and Tycho are my go-to targets when imaging the Moon. Those craters along the terminator are stunning with a DSLR.
