Net zero carbon: Overture has been developed to be net zero carbon, flying on 100% SAF. Carbon composites can also be manufactured with highly complex curvature, contributing to the aircraft’s aerodynamic efficiency. Importantly, the wing shaping also helps ensure safety and stability at any speed.Ĭarbon composite construction: Overture will incorporate carbon composite materials into the majority of the build that are lighter, stronger, and more thermally stable than traditional metal construction.
Gull wings: The aircraft’s wings are sculpted to enhance supersonic performance as well as improve subsonic and transonic handling. Boom has applied this design technique to minimize drag and maximize fuel efficiency at supersonic speeds. HPM recently served as the Program Manager for the. These noise reduction efforts will deliver a quieter experience both for passengers and airport communities.Ĭontoured fuselage: According to the principle of area-ruling, Overture’s fuselage has a larger diameter toward the front of the aircraft and a smaller diameter toward the rear. Based in Denver, Colorado, Boom Supersonic is known for building the worlds fastest supersonic airliner. Score: 4.5/5 (38 votes) (CNN) United Airlines has announced it will purchase up to 50 Boom Overture supersonic jets for commercial use by 2029, heralding the return of supersonic passenger flights nearly 20 years after the Concorde was decommissioned. The airliner will fly without afterburners, meeting the same strict regulatory noise levels as the latest subsonic airplanes. The Boom Supersonic Overture aircraft, which will travel at speeds of 2,100km/h (Mach 1.7) a similar speed to Concorde has been through 51 design iterations since work began on.
Quieter operation: On take-off, Overture will use the world’s first automated noise reduction system. The latest designs for a supersonic jet with gull wings, which would enable flights between London and New York in 3.5 hours, have just been unveiled. Carrying 65–80 passengers at twice the speed of today’s airliners, Overture will fly Mach 1.7 over water with a range of 4,250 nautical miles.įour-engine design: Overture will be powered by four powerful, wing-mounted engines that enable the airliner to cruise at Mach 1.7 over water and just under Mach 1 over land. Boom was founded on the philosophy that we need to overcome the challenges of passenger supersonic flight, not surrender to them. On Tuesday, aviation company Boom Supersonic revealed the design for its highly anticipated Mach 1.7 Overture passenger jet, which touts a speed twice as fast as the standard passenger airline. Boom Supersonic has announced the updated design of Overture with 4 engines.
