Boom Supersonic Introduces Overture

Boom is developing a supersonic commercial airliner with orders already in place from major airlines. My role was integral to bringing the company’s vision and progress to life through creative for audiences vital to Boom’s success including airlines, suppliers, investors, regulators, and future passengers.

The Supersonic Revival

50 years ago, Concorde showed supersonic flight was possible. Now, Overture will make faster flight routine. XB-1's first flight on March 22nd was a major milestone toward the return of supersonic travel that is more affordable, more convenient, and more sustainable.

Overture aims to be the world's fastest airliner — optimized for speed, safety, and sustainability.

Overture Realized

A unique aspect of leading creative at Boom was generating momentum and credibility for a product that didn’t yet exist. This required great emphasis on presenting Overture with a level of technical and environmental accuracy not typically seen in aerospace renderings.

The Benefits of Speed

Boom’s accelerated progress brings the world closer to flights that are 2x faster.

Overture Flight Deck

Boom is reinventing the cockpit with an all-new flight deck for Overture. Designed around pilots with safety at the forefront, Overture’s full-scale flight deck was demonstrated at the Farnborough International Airshow. Here are few ways that I showcased this monumental progress.

Instantly Familiar

Designed around pilots with safety at the forefront, Overture’s flight deck will be innovative but instantly familiar. The next-generation flight deck builds upon years of learning in aviation safety and is the result of extensive feedback from airline, business, and military pilots.

Universal Avionics

Autoland and augmented reality. Building on the system flown on XB-1, Overture has an advanced augmented reality vision system for takeoff and landing, eliminating the need for the droop nose used on Concorde. Pilots can safely land using autoland or augmented reality views provided on a headworn device and on the pilot’s primary flight display.

Boom Supersonic x American Airlines

American Airlines announces agreement to purchase Boom Supersonic Overture Aircraft, places deposit on 20 Overtures. American, the world’s largest airline, poised to have the world’s largest supersonic fleet with new Boom Supersonic aircraft

The World's Largest Supersonic Fleet

American Airlines and Boom Supersonic announced the airline’s agreement to purchase up to 20 Overture aircraft, with an option for an additional 40. American has paid a non-refundable deposit on the initial 20 aircraft. Overture is expected to carry passengers at twice the speed of today’s fastest commercial aircraft.

The Benefits

Overture is being designed to carry 65 to 80 passengers at Mach 1.7 over water — or twice the speed of today’s fastest commercial aircraft — with a range of 4,250 nautical miles. Optimized for speed, safety and sustainability, Overture is also being designed to fly more than 600 routes around the world in as little as half the time. Flying from Miami to London in just under five hours and Los Angeles to Honolulu in three hours are among the many possibilities.

Boom Supersonic x United Airlines

United adding supersonic speeds with new agreement to buy aircraft from Boom Supersonic. First U.S. airline to sign commercial agreement with Boom Supersonic; New aircraft will cut travel times in half and operate on up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel.
