Boom Supersonic is aiming to redefine commercial air travel by bringing about a return of supersonic commercial flight.
Following the XB-1 demonstrator aircraft, rolled out in 2020 and retired in mid-2025, Boom Supersonic is now ramping up the pace of the development of Overture.
Overture is being designed to unlock industry-leading standards of speed, safety, and sustainability. The company is aiming to run it on 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) at 'twice the speed of today’s fastest passenger jets', and is hoping to commence flights in the next couple of years.
To get there, and to get there on time, every second counts. And so, the company is turning to additive manufacturing to enhance its assembly processes.
