Boom Supersonic is developing Overture, a supersonic airliner designed to transport passengers at twice the speed of conventional aircraft. The American company, founded in 2014, is working to reintroduce supersonic commercial travel with a focus on speed, safety, and sustainability. The program has secured pre-orders from major airlines, representing billions in aircraft orders.
The company demonstrated its technical capability with the XB-1, a demonstrator aircraft that achieved its first successful supersonic flight in January 2025. Boom Supersonic is also applying its propulsion expertise beyond aviation with Superpower, a natural gas turbine designed to provide reliable energy for AI data centers. Its technical domains include supersonic aviation, aerospace engineering, propulsion systems, and energy generation.
The company employs over 150 people and has team members contributing to more than 220 air and spacecraft programs. It operates from facilities in Englewood, Colorado, and the Mojave Air & Space Port. The organization emphasizes vertical integration and hands-on hardware development.
