Boom Supersonic
Blake Scholl
Overview
Boom Supersonic is building Overture, a 60-80 seat Mach 1.7 supersonic airliner aimed at restoring commercial supersonic travel on 600+ routes at business-class economics. After XB-1 became the first independently developed jet to fly supersonic and completed a 13-flight test campaign in 2025, Boom shifted fully toward Overture production infrastructure, Symphony engine development, and Superpower, a 42 MW natural-gas turbine business that uses the same core engine technology. Boom now says it has nearly $1B in funding, a 130-aircraft order book from American Airlines, United Airlines, and Japan Airlines, and a $1.25B+ launch backlog for Superpower.
Main Products
Purpose-built Mach 1.7 supersonic commercial airliner designed to cut travel times in half on 600+ routes. Overture is optimized for up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel, flies at 60,000 feet, and is positioned as an all-premium aircraft for 60-80 passengers.
Boom has completed the Greensboro Superfactory, unveiled Overture's flight deck, and continues aircraft and Symphony propulsion development ahead of later integrated testing.
One-third scale supersonic technology demonstrator that validated the core aerodynamic, structural, and flight-control concepts behind Overture. XB-1 became the first independently developed jet to fly supersonic and completed Boom's full test campaign in early 2025.
The program concluded after 13 successful flights and six supersonic runs. Boom retired the aircraft to its Denver headquarters after the second and final supersonic flight in February 2025.
42 MW natural-gas turbine derived from the same core engine technology as Symphony. Superpower is designed for AI data centers and other onsite power applications, emphasizing waterless operation and strong output in hot, dry environments.
Boom revealed Superpower in December 2025 with Crusoe as launch customer and says the initial order book is worth more than $1.25B.
What's Next
Operations & Revenue
XB-1 is retired after completing its flight-test campaign. Overture remains in development with the Greensboro Superfactory complete, Symphony engine testing infrastructure being built in Colorado, and Superpower launched as a new power-generation product line.
Revenue Streams
Boom's main long-term business remains aircraft sales to airline customers. The current order book stands at 130 aircraft from United Airlines, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines, representing Boom's first five years of planned Overture production.
Superpower is Boom's new power-generation line for AI data centers. The launch order book is worth more than $1.25B, with Crusoe ordering 29 turbines that will provide 1.21 GW of capacity.

Timeline
XB-1 becomes the first independently developed jet to fly supersonic, then completes a second and final supersonic flight in February. The 13-flight test campaign ends with six supersonic runs and a demonstrated boomless-cruise profile before the aircraft is retired to Boom's Denver HQ.
