Overture is being engineered to go twice as fast, fly overland quietly, and deliver the kind of experience today’s travelers expect. Every flight path. Every window. Every system. Purpose-built for a world that moves faster than ever—and deserves an aircraft that can keep up. #SupersonicIsComing

3.22.24. XB-1 takes flight. Today, Boom’s supersonic demonstrator aircraft, XB-1 safely and successfully executed its first flight at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, CA., flown by XB-1 Chief Test Pilot Bill “Doc” Shoemaker. Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg flew the T-38 chase aircraft which monitored XB-1 in the air. Two decades after Concorde’s retirement, the first flight of XB-1 marks the return of a civil supersonic aircraft to the skies and paves the way for the revival of mainstream supersonic travel onboard Overture, Boom’s sustainable supersonic airliner.

Real magic is happening at Boom as we build a supersonic engine from raw materials. We’re launching “Build Supersonic,” a new series to pull back the curtain on the shop floor. In Ep 1, we look at Symphony hardware – how we break things, learn, and iterate to move fast. What do you want to see next?

“This is the first factory in the United States to produce supersonic airliners. Seeing the building complete is a big step toward the return of supersonic travel – we are literally paving the way,” said Chris Taylor, Boom’s VP of manufacturing. "Now that the construction is complete, my team and I will focus on operationalizing the production floor, which includes designing and implementing assembly stations, developing positioning and joining processes, and planning material flow." The Overture Superfactory will use four assembly stations to build 33 Overture aircraft per year. A second planned assembly line will double production to 66 supersonic airliners annually. The Superfactory campus will also include a delivery center where global airlines including United, American, and Japan Airlines will receive their supersonic aircraft. Hear more from Chris Taylor on what’s next for the Superfactory and the future of supersonic flight here:
