Boom Supersonic is an aerospace company founded in 2014, developing a new generation of supersonic airliners and the associated engine technology. The company's central project is Overture, an airliner designed for supersonic commercial flight with an emphasis on sustainability and broader passenger access. The development is supported by Symphony, its proprietary engine technology, and was preceded by the XB-1 demonstrator program, which provided foundational flight data.
The company operates within the aerospace, aviation, and airline industries. Its technical work encompasses aerospace engineering, supersonic flight systems, and engine technology. Boom Supersonic has secured orders and pre-orders for Overture from major airlines, including United Airlines, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines.
The company's stated mission is to make the world more accessible through the restoration of supersonic travel. Its work represents a direct technical effort to reintroduce commercial supersonic flight, which ended with the retirement of Concorde in 2003.
