The aircraft will have a 106-feet wingspan and a length of 201 feet. Nearly two years after rolling out ts prototype supersonic demonstrator, the XB1, Boom has unveiled a major new design for its much anticipated Overture airliner, which will fly at twice the speed. To be precise, Overture will now feature four smaller engines on its wings, which will allow it to be quieter and also decrease operational costs. Source: Boom Supersonicīoom Supersonic also announced that it has reconfigured the aircraft's fuselage and gull wings, and added more engines. This means it shouldn't be louder than conventional aircraft during takeoff. But on that same day, at the Farnborough Airshow where all the big announcements are made, Boom Supersonic announced that it is building a supersonic jet. The company says the aircraft has buzz-free engines, no afterburners, and will feature the world's first automated noise reduction system. The craft measures a length of about 200 ft with a passenger capacity between 65 and 88 people. It has a planned range of up to 4,250 nautical miles. Overture airliners will be a 100 carbon neutral fleet. Boom Supersonic’s first aircraft is the Boom Overture. It's worth noting, however, that it will still have to fly at just under Mach 1 over land. Known as Boom Supersonic, the Denver-based startup is designing supersonic aircraft. Much like NASA's supersonic X-59 aircraft, Boom's Overture will have a quieter supersonic boom than the Concorde, meaning it will face fewer restrictions while flying over populated areas. The company says it has made this sacrifice to make the Overture more quiet and efficient. (trade name Boom Supersonic) is an American company designing a Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn 1,800 km/h), 65-88-passenger supersonic airliner. To reach that goal it has had to make some a few recent design iterations.įirstly, the aircraft will now carry fewer passengers. In an interview with IE last year, Boom Supersonic Senior VP, Brian Durrence, said the company wants to "remove the barriers to experiencing the planet" for people. This historic commercial airliner is designed. Named the Boom Overture, the airliner is planned to have a range of 4,250 nmi (7,870 km) and to be introduced in 2029. Boom Supersonic is redefining commercial flight by bringing supersonic flight back to the skies with Overture.
The aircraft will also run on 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and the company expects it to go into production by 2024. ( trade name Boom Supersonic) is an American company designing a Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn 1,800 km/h), 65-88-passenger supersonic airliner. The Colorado-based company says the Overture will carry between 65-80 passengers and it will fly at Mach 1.7 (approx.
