Boom Supersonic: The Overture Commercial Airliner
Boom Supersonic & United Airlines have recently signed a purchase agreement for the Boom Overture airliner. This would commence supersonic air travel within the commercial market, while also lowering costs, travel time and reducing carbon to net-zero.⁣ ⁣ The Overture has been in development for quite some time. It is expected to roll out in 2025, have its first flight in 2026, and should begin boarding passengers in 2029. If this proposed aircraft makes it to market. It would be the first large commercial aircraft to be released at net-zero carbon emissions, that can also reach a cruise speed of Mach 1.7. Which is faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1.0).⁣ ⁣ The Overture was meant to be designed with a spacious cabin that can seat anywhere between 65 to 88 passengers. It is said to have large windows for each passenger and also has dedicated under seat storage. You will also notice in seat entertainment screens, as well as direct aisle access for each passenger.⁣ ⁣ The maximum range on the Overture is approximately 4,200 nautical miles. It's maximum cruise altitude or service ceiling is near 60,000 ft. Currently, the maximum cruise speed is approximately Mach 2.2. This is nearly twice the speed of sound. With that being said, most trips the Overture will be traveling, consist of transoceanic destinations.⁣ ⁣ This means that when the aircraft meets or breaks the sound barrier. It will not have an audible effect over land. Essentially reducing any, if not all disturbances that could be caused during supersonic travel.⁣ ⁣ To give you an example of the time one can save while traveling with the Overture. A ten hour and 15 minute trip to Tokyo (NRT) from San Francisco (SFO) on a widebody commercial airliner. Can easily be reduced to almost half the time, at approximately 6 hours on the Boom Overture supersonic aircraft.⁣ ⁣ Also:
This commercial supersonic aircraft has been optimized to operate on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The operational costs for the Boom Overture is said to be significantly less than a subsonic widebody aircraft.
