Boom Supersonic
Bringing supersonic passenger flight back to commercial aviation.
The product
Boom is building Overture, a Mach 1.7 commercial airliner, and the Symphony engine that powers it. Its XB-1 demonstrator went supersonic in 2025.
The thesis
Supersonic civil aviation has been frozen since the Concorde's retirement in 2003. A U.S.-built supersonic supply chain — airframe, engine, materials — is a strategic industrial capability with direct defense overlap.
How it runs
Vertically integrated aerospace and energy manufacturer developing the Overture supersonic airliner, its in-house Symphony turbofan, and the shared-core Superpower natural-gas turbine for AI data centers. Boom combines internal engine design and manufacturing with a global supplier network and an Overture assembly facility in North Carolina.
How it earns
Boom's aviation business is based on future Overture aircraft sales; the company reports 130 orders and pre-orders. Boom also plans to sell Superpower natural-gas turbines, but the previously announced $1.25 billion, 29-unit launch agreement with Crusoe ended in September 2026. Boom says other sites are planned, but named replacement customers, binding order value, and delivery terms have not been publicly substantiated.
Why it wins
Symphony and Superpower share approximately 80% of their hardware, allowing engineering investment, manufacturing scale, and operating data to reinforce both aviation and energy programs. Boom also controls its purpose-built engine architecture and demonstrated supersonic know-how through the Mach 1 XB-1 flight program.
