Boom Supersonic

Here's a look at the key features we expect to see in Boom Supersonic Overture jet, ahead of its launch debut with American Airlines in 2025.

It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 k per hour at cruise altitude) and could seat 92 to 128 passengers The Overture is still under development, but is tipped to be the 'world's fatest airliner', reaching speeds of Mach 1.7 (about 1,300mph). 'We are designing Overture to industry-leading standards of speed, safety, and sustainability' 'We are designing Overture to industry-leading standards of speed, safety, and sustainability.' Overture is driven by four powerful wing-mounted engines that power the plane to cruising speeds of Mach 1.7 (1,300mph) over water, and just under Mach 1 (767mph) over land without the use of afterburners. Overture will be powered by four powerful, wing-mounted engines that enable the airliner to cruise at Mach 1.7 (1,300mph) over water and just under Mach 1 (770mph) over land Still under development, the Overture is expected to reach speeds of Mach 1.7, or about 1,300 mph, roughly double the top speed of the fastest current commercial jets on the market, including the Boeing 747 Overture is slated to roll out in 2025, fly in 2026 and expected to carry passengers by 2029 The Overture, dubbed the 'Son of Concorde' is still under development, but is tipped to be the 'world's fastest airliner', reaching speeds of Mach 1.7 (about 1,300mph). - Overture is still in development but is tipped to be the 'world's fastest airliner', reaching Mach 1.7 (1,300mph) - Overture is slated to roll out in 2025, fly in 2026 and expected to carry passengers by 2029 Inside the 'world's fastest airliner': Boom Supersonic Overture jet dubbed the 'Son of Concorde' reaches top speeds of 1,300mph and runs on sustainable fuel – and could fly passengers from London to Miami in 5 HOURS by 2029

American Airlines and Boom Supersonic have announced the airline's agreement to purchase up to 20 Overture aircraft, with an option for an additional 40.

Overture is being designed to carry 65 to 80 passengers at Mach 1.7 over water — or twice the speed of today’s fastest commercial aircraft — with a range of 4,250 nautical miles. “We believe Overture can help American deepen its competitive advantage on network, loyalty and overall airline preference through the paradigm-changing benefits of cutting travel times in half.” “We are excited about how Boom will shape the future of travel both for our company and our customers.”

In 2021, United Airlines announced that it would purchase 15 Overture jets once the plane met its safety and operating requirements. Overture is being designed to carry 65 to 80 passengers at Mach 1.7 over water, or twice the speed of current fastest commercial aircraft, with a range of 4,250 nautical miles. Boom is working with Northrop Grumman for government and defense applications.

Nearly 20 years after the supersonic Concorde's last commercial flight, aircraft makers and governments around the world are again investing in such planes.

Supersonic jets can also burn seven to nine times more fuel compared with subsonic planes, The Washington Post [just over Mach 2](https://www.britishairways.com/en-us/information/about-ba/history-and-heritage/celebrating-concorde), last made a commercial flight in 2003. Another barrier may be the cost of sustainable aviation fuel, which is derived from organic matter. The manufacturer collaborated with British industrial conglomerate Rolls-Royce — which co-developed the engines for the Concorde — on an engine design for the Overture that Boom is now evaluating, according to Scanlan, the spokeswoman. At the time, Boom said in response that it could build the Overture at roughly half the price tag that Ostrower had indicated.

He suggested that Boom would need to invest at least $15 billion to develop a supersonic jet. Last year, United Airlines ordered 15 Overtures with an option to buy 35 more.

Post the 2003 Concorde tragedy, supersonic passenger travel has been lying low for quite some time. Now, NASA, and companies like Boom, Virgin Galactic, ...

While Boom plans to roll out its supersonic jets in 2025 and carry its first passengers by 2029, a number of other companies are also working on supersonic airliner projects. However, the Overture is expected to be operated as a "net-zero carbon aircraft," Savitt said. Lockheed Martin has been collaborating with NASA on the project X-59 QueSST in the past decade. A supersonic jet is an aircraft that travels faster than the speed of sound. The sonic boom can be heard on the ground like a loud explosion or thunderclap. The Boom got its name from the sonic boom caused by the plane travelling faster than the speed of sound. The Concorde, which flew at a speed of Mach 2.04, was even faster than the Boom jets. There were a number of reasons why the Concorde was discontinued, including the high operational and fuel expense. Although the Concorde earned a place in history, the Soviet Union’s Tupolev Tu-144 made its maiden flight two months before it in 1968. The supersonic jet will come with an extra engine, contoured fuselage and gull wings. The Concorde was retired after 27 years of service in 2003 following a deadly crash and high costs of fuel and maintenance. American Airlines will buy up to 20 supersonic Overture planes from aircraft maker Boom Supersonic.

“We believe Overture can help American deepen its competitive advantage on network, loyalty and overall airline preference through the paradigm-changing benefits of cutting travel times in half.” Optimised for speed, safety and sustainability, Overture is also being designed to fly more than 600 routes around the world in as little as half the time. “We are excited about how Boom will shape the future of travel both for our company and our customers.”
