Executive order signed to lift ban on overland supersonic flight, opening door for future Greensboro-made jet
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — A company with ambitious goals centered on the Triad is celebrating the issuance of a presidential executive order. On Friday, Donald Trump signed an executive order to lift the FAA's ban of supersonic flights over the United States. Recently, Senators Ted Budd (R-North Carolina) and Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) were among several lawmakers who introduced bills in the house and senate that would revise this ban. The lifting of this ban comes as Boom Supersonic, a company aiming to build a supersonic airliner, has chosen Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro as the site where it will build engines for its planned Overture jet. Boom wrote in a statement that it supports repealing the ban, which the company calls outdated. Boom Supersonic did multiple test flights earlier in the year with their XB-1 jet, which broke the sound barrier without creating an audible boom. 'Legalizing supersonic flight makes a renaissance in supersonic passenger travel inevitable,' said Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. 'We're grateful to President Trump for his leadership—this important step allows us to accelerate development of our Overture supersonic airliner.' Boom is investing about $500 million to build Overture, a commercial supersonic jet, in Greensboro and, in January 2023, on a 62-acre site where its so-called 'Superfactory' is . The company, which plans to employ more than 1,700, also has an . Boom plans to have its first passengers in the air by 2029 and will fly more than 600 'profitable routes' to destinations worldwide with a range of 4,250 nautical miles. Boom has taken on three partners to design and build which will power the Overture, and now has partnerships with companies to provide Another partner, Dimensional Energy, is to provide which is as being made from 'renewable biomass and waste resources,' which could be corn, algae or wood products.

GTCC to launch new biotechnology program to train students for jobs in growing industry
GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — Biotech is growing in North Carolina, and now one Triad college is stepping up to help train the workforce. Guilford Technical Community College is launching a new program this fall to help students land jobs in the growing biomanufacturing industry. GTCC leaders said that with biotech companies already growing in Guilford County, they say now is the time to build a local pipeline of skilled talent. The program is designed to help students step directly into jobs like bioprocess technicians, pharmaceutical production specialists and quality control analysts in the Triad. 'We've got multiple companies that are currently in Guilford County and biotech … It's a growing field,' GTCC Dean of STEM Anne Simpson said. The new Bioprocess Manufacturing Technology Program at GTCC is launching this fall. Students will train hands-on in microbiology, cell culture and manufacturing processes, which are skills that match what employers are asking for. It will span five semesters. 'It is an associate of applied science degree. The students who will complete the program will be able to enter the workforce and our biomanufacturing field,' Simpson said. Companies in the industry are already operating in Guilford County. 'We have Galera, Syngenta, and a smaller one that we've worked with so far is BioGreen Synergy, and they do biofuel also,' Simpson said. GTCC hopes their graduates will stay local after they graduate. They're also working directly with companies to align coursework with their workforce needs. 'We have started our industry committee for the new program. and that allows the industry folks to be able to tell us what their needs are, and we can ensure our curriculum is meeting those needs … That can be from the actual curriculum. That can be soft skills that students need to develop while they're training with us and ensuring that as the technology changes, our curriculum changes to match those industry needs as well,' Simpson said. GTCC is capping the first cohort at 24 students, and registration is now open for the fall semester. While classes will begin on Aug. 14 in GTCC's existing biology labs, a new lab space is already in the works at the GTCC Center for Advanced Manufacturing on the Jamestown campus. GTCC is also participating in a MentorLinks grant through the NSF. The partnership will support the continued development of the new program. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Women are attracted to men with psychopathic traits
Couple kiss Credit: BANG - Entertainment News BANG - Entertainment News Bang Showbiz Women are more attracted to men with psychopathic traits. New findings - conducted by researchers from Hunan Normal University in China - show that men with psychopathic traits are more appealing to the opposite sex. In the study, the researchers showed photos of men with varying degrees of Dark Triad traits - narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy - to over 500 women, who were asked to rate the men in terms of attractiveness and trustworthiness. The results revealed that the images of the men with high Dark Triad traits were seen as both more trustworthy and more attractive by females. Study author Dr. Qi Wu said: "In short-term cooperative settings, individuals with high Dark Triad traits tend to inspire more trust." "[This is] partly due to being seen as more attractive based on their facial features."
