In its effort to revitalize the supersonic commercial industry, dormant since the Concorde last flew in 2003, Colorado-based Boom has picked North Carolina as a hub.
Hoping to revive faster-than-sound passenger travel, Boom Supersonic aims to manufacturer a fleet of jets at the Greensboro airport.
Boom Supersonic, another faster-than-sound startup, has been forced to build its own engine after failing to make a deal with major engine manufacturers, who remain focused on conventional jet ...
The XB-1 Baby Boom is 68 feet (21 m) long with a 17 ft (5.2 m) wingspan and a 13,500-pound (6,100 kg) maximum take-off weight. Powered by three J85-15 engines with variable geometry inlets and exhaust, the prototype should be able to sustain Mach 2.2 with more than 1,000 nmi (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) of range. [ 4 ]
See which airlines are lining up to buy the future supersonic jets, which Boom says can cruise twice as fast as modern passenger jets.
The Boom Overture is a supersonic airliner under development by Boom Technology, designed to cruise at Mach 1.7 or 975 knots (1,806 km/h; 1,122 mph). It will accommodate 64 to 80 passengers, depending on the configuration, and have a range of 4,250 nautical miles (7,870 km; 4,890 mi). Boom Technology aims to introduce the Overture in 2029. [2]
The Boom Overture is a proposed Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn; 1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph), 65- to 88-passenger supersonic transport with a planned 4,250 nmi (7,870 km; 4,890 mi) of range. [20] With 500 viable routes, Boom suggests there could be a market for 1,000 supersonic airliners with business class fares. [7]
Boom’s engine is called Symphony, and it’s designed in collaboration with Florida Turbine Technologies, whose engineers have worked on the supersonic engines of fighter jets such as the ...
