Boom Supersonic is closer than ever to its goal of introducing supersonic commercial aviation back to the global stage — the Colorado-based startup unveiled the final design of its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft today. This is a fully functional prototype airplane, which will help the company test out the flight capabilities and systems that will eventually [...]
Boom Supersonic and Rolls-Royce have signed an agreement to examine the pairing of a Rolls-Royce propulsion system within Boom’s proposed supersonic passenger aircraft, Overture, the companies announced on 30 July. In a statement, Boom said the agreement calls for the companies to work together to identify the propulsion system that would complement Boom’s Overture airframe. [...]
Supersonic aviation startup Boom is making progress on its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft, the airplane that will prove out its tech and pave the way for construction of its future production commercial supersonic passenger jets. The Denver-based startup has partnered with Flight Research, Inc., a company that specializes in in-flight testing and certification, as well as [...]
At Mach 2.2, the supersonic jet could fly between New York City and London in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic has just partnered with startup Boom Technology to build a supersonic aircraft, Boom Technology announced. The plane would zip through the skies faster than the Concorde jet or any other [...]
Colorado-based Boom Supersonic, which is seeking to introduce the world's first independently developed supersonic jet, has announced significant progress toward its goal. On Thursday, Boom announced several key milestones for its technology demonstrator aircraft XB-1. The aircraft has undergone extensive ground testing, including taxi testing at Southern California's Mojave Air & Space Port and recently [...]
Boom Supersonic has broken ground on the construction on its Overture ‘Superfactory’ in Greensboro, North Carolina. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, located on a 62-acre campus at Piedmont Triad International Airport, will house the final assembly line, test facility, and customer delivery centre for the Overture supersonic jet
Boom Supersonic has announced that construction has begun of its Overture Superfactory in Greensboro, North Carolina, the United States (US). The factory is scheduled to begin production of the Supersonic Transport (SST) aircraft in 2024. The state-of-the-art, 62-acre campus is located at Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO). According to Boom, the ground-breaking is another step [...]
Being supersonic involves a lot more than a cool-looking aircraft. You need engines that can push the jet past Mach 1 (767.3 miles per hour, 1,268 km per hour). These days, any jet maker also needs to consider sustainability, reliability and lower noise levels—in other words, mitigating sonic booms—that made the Concorde famous, and in [...]
Boom is attempting to revive the concept of a supersonic airliner, last explored by the legendary Concorde in the 1970s. After being shunned by the civilian market, Boom Supersonic will team up with another US-based startup, Kratos Defense, to develop an engine capable of powering supersonic airliners. Kratos’ Florida Turbines Technologies will lead the design [...]
Boom Technology’s plan to introduce an ultra-high-speed commercial jet by 2029 are complicated by the lack of participation from aircraft engine developers. CFM International will not be the engine supplier to Boom Technology in that company’s development of an ultra-high-speed aircraft – a “supersonic jet” that reportedly will travel at up to Mach 1.7 (1,307 [...]
