Boom Supersonic

New materials, new tests, new heights: Boom packed a lot into November: - Two XB-1 flight tests, reaching Mach 0.82 and max altitude of 25,040 ft - Initial tests of a new drag-reducing material for improved aerodynamic performance - Symphony hardware testing of the superalloy that will power sections of the compressor and turbine Get up to speed on all the news from the hangar: https://lnkd.in/gKi2BiRE

“I believe a world in which a lot more people go more places, more often, is a better world for us to live in, a better world for our children to grow up in.” Our founder and CEO, Blake Scholl, shared his vision for a world that is dramatically more accessible through supersonic travel onboard Overture.

Thanksgiving may be over, but the journey home doesn’t have to take forever. Overture is setting the table for faster travel, so you can get home twice as fast.

Happy Thanksgiving!

On the busiest travel day of the year, imagine cutting your travel time in half onboard Overture, arriving refreshed and ready to celebrate. The future of holiday travel is supersonic—and it’s coming sooner than you think.

We welcomed AIAA to Boom headquarters as part of their nationwide tour and shared our vision for the next chapter of high-speed commercial flight. AIAA CEO Clay Mowry took a turn at the controls in our Overture flight deck simulator, getting a firsthand look at the future of supersonic travel.

🚀 We love visiting our members in their labs and offices to see their work up close. Last week we were in the Rocky Mountains around Denver. 🤝 Many thanks to our Corporate Partner Lockheed Martin for an out-of-this-world visit to your space facility. We were also energized by seeing local Corporate Members – Boom Supersonic, Blue Origin, and BAE Systems – and visiting Advanced Space. School was in session – we spent valuable time with student branches at University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado School of Mines. 👏 Thank you to Advanced Space for hosting the reception, bringing together the AIAA Rocky Mountain Section for a packed night of learning and networking. 🏅 Also congrats to Gene Dionne on receiving an AIAA Sustained Service Award—thanks for all you do for AIAA! #AIAA #CAPSTONE

We’re thrilled to share that the AIAA has selected Boom Staff Scientist in Applied Aerodynamics David Lazzara to be a member of the Class of 2025 AIAA Associate Fellows. “The AIAA Associate Fellows personify the innovation that drives our industry forward.” - AIAA CEO Dan Dumbacher David was chosen for outstanding contributions to high-fidelity aerodynamic shape optimization and MDAO (Multi-disciplinary Analysis and Optimization) for superior aerodynamic and noise performance of unconventional transonic and supersonic flight vehicles. David, along with the other 2025 Fellows, is contributing to the future of aerospace–a future that looks a little bit faster with supersonic travel.

✈️ XB-1 Flight 8 has landed! ✅New max altitude: 25,040 ft ✅Top speed: Mach 0.82 (487 KTAS) ✅Stability augmentation system off at Mach 0.8

Exciting progress on Symphony hardware testing! Metal forging has officially begun for the first superalloy that will power the hottest sections of the engine's compressor and turbine. 🔥 things happening for Boom at ATI's facility!
