In June, United Airlines announced that it had signed a deal to purchase 15 Boom Overture aircraft, with an option to buy 35 more. In January 2021, Boom announced plans to begin Overture test flights in 2026. īoom CEO Blake Scholl "estimates that flights on Overture will be available in 2030." In September 2020, the company announced that it had been contracted to develop the Overture for possible use as Air Force One. A derivative or a clean-sheet design was to be selected in 2019. It is to be powered by three 15,000–20,000 lbf (67–89 kN) dry turbofan engines. It decided to use the delta wing configuration of Concorde and make use of composite materials. It had gathered 76 commitments by December 2017. With 500 viable routes, Boom suggests there could be a market for 1,000 supersonic airliners with business class fares.
The Overture is a proposed Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn 1,800 km/h), 65- to 88-passenger supersonic transport with envisaged 4,250 nmi (7,870 km) of range. In January 2022, the company announced plans to build a 400,000-square-foot manufacturing facility on a 65-acre site at Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina. In January 2019, Boom raised a further $100 million, bringing the total to $151 million, then planning the demonstrator first flight for later in 2019. In December 2017, Japan Airlines invested $10 million, raising the company capital to $51 million: enough to build the XB-1 “Baby Boom” demonstrator and complete its testing, and to start early design work on the 55-seat airliner. īoom secured $41 million of total financing by April 2017. In March 2017, $33 million were invested by several venture funds: Continuity Fund, RRE Ventures, Palm Drive Ventures, 8VC and Caffeinated Capital. It participated in a Y Combinator startup incubation program in early 2016, and has been funded by Y Combinator, Sam Altman, Seraph Group, Eight Partners, and others. The company was founded in Denver in 2014.
