Boom Supersonic, a Colorado-based company, has designed a supersonic jet called Overture, and they have chosen StandardAero to assemble its engine.
The ongoing partnership will see the Mach 1.7 engines being built and tested in 100,000sq-ft of its core site in San Antonio.
The first full-scale engine core should be operational within 18 months.

Boom Supersonic announcement

An announcement was made by the jet designer on 23 July.
“We plan to get to hardware quickly, and let’s learn and iterate,” Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl told Aviation Week Network.
“Eighteen months ago, the [engine, dubbed] Symphony was a sketch on a napkin.
“Now the conceptual design is complete, and we’ve said, ‘Great, let’s go.'”

The company has worked with Boom Supersonic for several years but the expansion will allow StandardAero to assemble 330 engines every year, Scholl said.
Boom Supersonic plans to have a full-scale test Symphony engine core running by the end of 2025.
With Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Knight Aerospace, Chromalloy, Xyrec, and the 16th Air Forces Cyber Command located in Port San Antonio, StandardAero is in good company.
The Overture jet

The Overture from Boom Supersonic will be the fastest jet in the world.
The first images of its futuristic and relatively minimalistic cockpit were recently unveiled at the Farnborough International Airshow, UK, as Airbus A380 planes did stunts.
It’s a world away from Concorde’s cluttered cockpit.
Boom Supersonic wants to have the Overture in the skies by 2029.

The new jets have been dubbed a successor to Concorde and are capable of flying at Mach 1.7 with a range of 4,250 nautical miles.
This means the Boom Overture can theoretically fly from New York City to Europe and back on a ‘tank’.
Mach 1.7 is equivalent to 1,300mph or 2,090km/h.
Boom also recently recorded the first-ever test flight for its groundbreaking XB-1 supersonic jet.
“Passengers and airlines are hungry for supersonic flight,” said Scholl.
