✈️ The Evolution of Boom Supersonic's 'Overture' Over the Past Two Years
✈️ Founded in 2014, Boom Supersonic aims to revolutionize air travel with its Overture jet, designed to fly at Mach 1.7.
✈️ The Overture, capable of carrying 88 passengers, will significantly reduce travel times, such as cutting the New York to London flight to just 3.5 hours. The first prototype is expected in 2025, with commercial flights projected by 2029.
✈️ United Airlines has already placed an order for 15 Overtures, with options for 35 more, contingent on meeting safety and sustainability standards.
✈️ Although currently only a virtual render, the Overture's design has seen considerable changes in recent years. The top image shows the initial design, while the bottom displays the current one.
