About Boom

We're bringing back supersonic flight — and building a company built to last.

Why we exist

The world stopped flying supersonic in 2003 when Concorde retired. We started Boom in 2014 to build the next generation: faster, safer, more sustainable, and accessible to far more passengers. The mission is to make the world dramatically more accessible — and to do that, we're building Overture, the world's fastest airliner, and Symphony, the engine that makes it possible.

Our work spans four areas

Mission

Why we exist and where we're headed. Our long-term goal is supersonic flight that's affordable enough to redefine what's possible.

History

From the Wright brothers to Concorde to Overture — the long arc of human flight, and where Boom fits in it.

FAQ

Common questions about Overture, supersonic flight, sustainability, sonic booms, and how Boom plans to deliver.
