The Boom Overture is a proposed supersonic airliner capable of traveling Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn; 1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph), with 64–80 passengers depending on configuration. Overture has 4,250 nmi (7,870 km; 4,890 mi) of range. Overture is planned to be introduced in 2029 by Boom Technology.[1] The company claims that with 500 viable routes, there could be a market for up to 1,000 supersonic airliners with fares similar to business class. The aircraft is planned to have a delta wing configuration (similar to Concorde), but will be built with composite materials. Following a redesign revealed in 2022 it is intended to be powered by four dry (non-afterburning) 35,000 lbf (160 kN) turbofans.[2]
