The Boom Overture is a supersonic airliner under development by Boom Technology, designed to cruise at Mach 1.7 or 975 knots (1,806 km/h; 1,122 mph). It will accommodate 64 to 80 passengers, depending on the configuration, and have a range of 4,250 nautical miles (7,870 km; 4,890 mi).
The Boom XB-1 "Baby Boom" is a one-third-scale trijet supersonic demonstrator designed by Boom Technology as part of the development of the Boom Overture supersonic transport airliner. Powered by three General Electric J85 engines, [ 2 ] it is designed to maintain a speed of Mach 2.2, with over 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) of range.
Boom Supersonic's XB-1 test jet broke the sound barrier for the first time on Tuesday. The XB-1 is a subscale version of its planned passenger model. The company's CEO says the US aviation market ...
Development stopped when Aerion ceased operations in May 2021. The Aerion AS2 12-passenger aircraft aimed for Mach 1.6 with a supersonic natural laminar flow wing for a minimum projected range of 4,750 nm (8,800 km). A $4 billion development cost was anticipated, for a market of 300 over 10 years and 500 overall for $120 million each.
The first full-scale supersonic passenger jet is expected to perform its maiden flight in 2027, according to the South China Morning Post, who first reported the test flight.
A demonstrator aircraft for Boom Supersonic’s new passenger jet took to the skies this month. CEO Blake Scholl says we’ll all be flying supersonic in the future.
By Spring 2018, Spike studied a 40- to 50-seat variant for the 13 million passengers interested in supersonic transport projected by 2025. [7] In September 2018, Spike intended to fly the S-512 by early 2021 and start deliveries in 2023. [8] In June 2021, Spike was reported to still be developing an 18-seat version. [9]
Fifty years after passenger supersonic travel over land was banned over noise concerns, NASA believes those flights may return as soon as 2026 through the development of its X-59 jet.
