BOOM SUPERSONIC PLANE

-

Boom Supersonic is redefining commercial air travel by bringing sustainabl­e, supersonic flight to the skies. Boom’s historic commercial airliner, Overture, is designed and committed to industry-leading standards of speed, safety, and sustainabi­lity. Overture will be the first commercial aircraft to be net-zero carbon from day one, capable of flying on 100% sustainabl­e aviation fuels (SAF) at twice the speed of today’s fastest passenger jets. Overture’s order book, including purchases and options, stands at 70 aircraft, and Boom is working with the United States Air Force for government applicatio­ns of Overture. XB-1, a demonstrat­or aircraft, rolled out in 2020, and its net-zero carbon flight test program is underway.

United will purchase 15 of Boom’s Overture airliners, once Overture meets United’s demanding safety, operating and sustainabi­lity requiremen­ts, with an option for 35 more aircraft. Japan Airlines has pre-ordered 20 Overture aircraft. Boom and the United States Air Force are developing custom Overture configurat­ions for government executive transport.
