Part 5/7:
Boom Supersonic is on track to finalize the design of their Overture airframe in the coming weeks, with plans to start building it within the next 18 months and flying with passengers by the end of 2029. The Overture model aims to provide a more economically viable option for air travel compared to the Concorde, with expected ticket prices around $5,000, making it competitive with business class fees today.
The design will accommodate around 64 passengers, less than the Concorde's capacity, but the focus is on providing a luxurious experience in a market where business travel demand is growing. The calculations shared illustrated how the Overture could achieve travel times significantly faster than current subsonic options while being more profitable.
