“Boom Supersonic is building a new era in innovation with supersonic aircraft, advanced propulsion and Superpower energy technology.”
“We believe that life is better lived in person. Our mission at Boom is to make the world dramatically more accessible. Sustainable supersonic travel enables three-day business trips to become one-day hops, long distance relationships to thrive, and humanitarian missions to save more lives.”
“Boom is partnering with the world’s leading airlines, including United Airlines, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines. Boom’s commercial order book for Overture currently stands at 130 aircraft, which represents the first five years of production at the Overture Superfactory.”
“We’re investing a great deal in improving the passenger experience, developing a cabin that is comfortable, tranquil and productive for travelers. Overture will fly above other commercial aircraft at an altitude of up to 60,000 feet—high enough to see the curvature of the earth below.”
“Ultimately, fares are up to our airline partners. We’ve designed Overture to be profitable for airlines at fares similar to first and business class across hundreds of transoceanic routes.”
“When in Boomless Cruise, speeds are 40-50% faster than conventional airliners. A New York to San Francisco flight can be 2 hours faster, and Los Angeles to New York can be less than 3.5 hours.”
“Boomless Cruise leverages Mach cutoff physics, where a sonic boom refracts upward due to temperature and wind gradients affecting the local speed of sound. By flying at sufficiently high altitude at appropriate speed for current atmospheric conditions, Overture ensures its sonic boom never reaches the ground.”
“Unlike "low boom" designs, Boomless Cruise does not require extensive aircraft shaping. It relies on breaking the sound barrier at high altitude where the boom refracts away. Symphony engines enable efficient supersonic transition above 30,000 feet. An advanced autopilot uses weather conditions and software algorithms to automatically select optimal Boomless Cruise speed.”
“No, boomless and low boom are distinct concepts. In Boomless Cruise, Overture's sonic boom does not reach the ground. However, at full Mach 1.7 speed over water, Overture will generate a sonic boom.”
