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 Symphony is a medium-bypass turbofan engine under development by Boom Technology for use on its Overture supersonic airliner. The engine is designed to produce 35,000 pounds (160 kN) of thrust at takeoff, sustain Overture supercruise at Mach 1.7, and burn sustainable aviation fuel exclusively.
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] As a technology demonstrator for the Boom Overture, the XB-1's trijet configuration matched that of the Overture.
The engine is also designed to work fully with SAF, or Sustainable Aviation Fuel, a type of jet fuel whose production methods promise to curb carbon emissions by up to 80%, according to the IATA ...
The XB-1 serves as the design foundation for Boom’s future jet, a concept model called Overture. The company promises it will eventually carry 64 to 80 passengers at Mach 1.7, or roughly double ...
Tie also said engine manufacturers aren't investing in supersonic flight — hindering one of the industry's most vital components: power. A rendering of the Boom Overture supersonic airliner ...
It is to be powered by three 15,000–20,000 lbf (67–89 kN) dry turbofan engines. [6] In January 2021, Boom announced plans to begin Overture test flights in 2026 [22] and Boom CEO Blake Scholl "estimates that flights on Overture will be available in 2030." [23]
