High-speed Government Transport

Northrop Grumman and Boom Progress Defense Collaboration

Boom and Northrop Grumman are partnered to offer special mission Overture variants to the US military and allies, focused on three rapid response use cases: VIP transport, rapid logistics, and personnel and aeromedical evacuation. Additionally, NASA’s Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) is now moving into the next phase of the high-speed travel research, which includes issuing two 12-month contracts to companies to develop concept designs and technology roadmaps. The roadmaps will explore air travel possibilities, outline risks and challenges, and identify needed technologies to make Mach 2-plus travel a reality.

U.S. Air Force

We’re continuing a strategic partnership with the United States Air Force to accelerate research and development on Overture. The STRATFI contract demonstrates the Air Force’s continued support and recognition of Boom’s leadership in supersonic flight, and represents efforts to ensure that the U.S. remains at the forefront of supersonic commercial development.
