Key Takeaways:
Boom Supersonic collaborated with the FAA and international regulators to establish new global noise standards for supersonic aircraft, recently adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
These new standards are crucial for the certification of Boom's Overture supersonic airliner by 2030, which is designed to have takeoff and landing noise levels comparable to modern subsonic jets through advanced noise reduction technologies.
Boom has successfully demonstrated technology enabling supersonic flight without an audible sonic boom on the ground and is now working to update overland speed limit regulations.
Supersonic aviation pioneers at Boom have assisted the FAA and other regulators around the world in creating new international standards for supersonic flight, according to the company.
