Key Takeaways:
Boom Supersonic is a Denver-based startup developing the Overture, a Mach 1.7 supersonic airliner, aiming to revive commercial supersonic flight with passenger service projected to start by 2029.
The Overture will operate primarily over water routes due to U.S. regulations against supersonic flight over land, with the goal of offering fares comparable to today's business class.
Boom has secured significant support, including provisional orders from United Airlines and Japan Airlines, partnerships with companies like Rolls-Royce for propulsion, and has raised $270 million in investments.
Boom is a Denver-Colorado-based startup founded in 2014 that seeks to build what it calls the world’s fastest supersonic airliner as more companies seek to revive supersonic commercial flight nearly 20 years after the grounding of the Concorde, history’s only successful supersonic airliner.
