The Overture should have lower fuel burn than Concorde by relying on dry (no afterburner) engines, composite structures, and improved technology since Concorde's development, although until Overture flies, Concorde remains the only Mach 2.0 supercruising aircraft in history and carried 30% more passengers than Boom is currently projecting.
A 2018 projection was that the aircraft would create a 75 EPNdB thump on ground, as loud as closing a car door, compared with 105-110 EPNdB for the Concorde. [6] The central engine has a top-mounted intake for low boom, but inlet flow distortion due to vortices is a concern. [12]
The Boom Symphony is a medium-bypass turbofan engine under development by Boom Technology for use on its Overture supersonic airliner. The engine is designed to produce 35,000 pounds (160 kN) of thrust at takeoff, sustain Overture supercruise at Mach 1.7, and burn sustainable aviation fuel exclusively.
Boom, the startup building the next Concorde, conducted its latest flight test. The CEO says it's on track to fly supersonic by the end of the year.

Boom Supersonic comments on NASA’s new quieter supersonic flight. Plus, an update on Duke researcher Dan Ariely, job opening trends, and IBM sheds real estate. Open Source: Boom without the boom?
The Boom Overture is a proposed Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn; 1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph), 65- to 88-passenger supersonic transport with a planned 4,250 nmi (7,870 km; 4,890 mi) of range. [20] With 500 viable routes, Boom suggests there could be a market for 1,000 supersonic airliners with business class fares. [7]
