Key Takeaways:
Boom Supersonic assisted the FAA and international regulators in establishing new global supersonic aircraft noise standards, recently adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
These new noise standards are a critical step toward certifying Boom's Overture supersonic airliner by 2030, which is designed to have takeoff and landing noise comparable to existing subsonic jets and an inaudible sonic boom.
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.
