The aviation industry is staring down a major challenge: by 2050, the world will need 15,000 new airplanes that today’s manufacturers alone can’t deliver. At the AIAA Aviation Forum in Las Vegas this summer, Boom Staff Scientist David Lazzara joined fellow disruptors on stage to share how new entrants are stepping up to fill that gap and why supersonic is part of the solution.

The message was clear: the demand for new aircraft reinforces our mission. Overture isn’t just about speed—it’s about meeting a global need for innovation and capacity at a moment when the industry can’t afford to stand still.

United & Boom: Partners in Supersonic

Some of the best days are when future Overture operators visit Boom, and this month, we welcomed United Airlines’ summer associates from the Chicago O’Hare hub to our Denver headquarters.

During their behind-the-scenes tour, they saw firsthand the energy, innovation, and teamwork fueling our Boom–United partnership and the next era of supersonic travel. From hands-on simulator time (yes, someone scored a near-perfect 95/100!) to in-depth Q&A, the associates got a taste of what it takes to bring supersonic flight to life.

Thank you to United and their summer associates for visiting, asking thoughtful questions, and sharing the excitement for what’s next!
