For five decades, Boeing and Airbus have dominated the top of commercial aviation without serious competition, while the dream of supersonic passenger travel died with the Concorde in 2003. The Concorde was a financial disaster — burning nearly four times the fuel of a normal jet, charging the equivalent of $20,000 per round trip, and requiring permanent government support to stay airborne. When Boeing killed its own supersonic 2707 project after Congress pulled funding in 1971, and Airbus never even tried, the entire industry concluded that speed simply does not pay. For half a century, nobody questioned that assumption — until Blake Scholl, a computer science graduate and former Amazon software engineer with a private pilot's license, stood in front of a retired Concorde in a museum and asked why the world let it die. Scholl founded Boom Supersonic in 2014 with backing from Y Combinator and early investor Sam Altman, pitching not another toy for billionaires but supersonic travel at business class prices — around $5,000 instead of the Concorde's $20,000. The Overture jet is designed to carry 64 to 80 passengers in a carbon fiber airframe roughly 30 percent lighter than aluminum, with a range of 4,250 nautical miles, cutting New York to London from 9 hours to 3.5 hours and Los Angeles to Tokyo from 11 hours to 6. United, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines placed conditional orders for roughly 130 aircraft. But when Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, and GE all refused to build the engine, Boom launched its own program called Symphony, partnering with Kratos Defense subsidiary Florida Turbine Technologies. To fund the billions needed, Boom repackaged the Symphony engine core into a 42-megawatt natural gas turbine called Superpower, selling 29 units to AI infrastructure company Crusoe for over 1.2 gigawatts of power capacity — a $1.25 billion order backlog. With the XB-1 demonstrator breaking the sound barrier at Mach 1.122, boomless cruise technology that could satisfy evolving FAA noise regulations, and sustainable aviation fuel plans, Boom is attempting what no aerospace startup has ever done: building both the airframe and engine simultaneously while funding the mission through an entirely unrelated AI data center side hustle.
