About

Boom Technology, Inc. , doing business as Boom Supersonic, is an American aerospace company specializing in the design and development of supersonic passenger aircraft, aiming to significantly enhance global air travel efficiency and speed. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, Boom Technology, Inc. , doing business as Boom Supersonic, focuses on creating advanced supersonic passenger airplanes.


The company was established by Blake Scholl and Nick Rogers. In December 2025, Boom Supersonic raised USD 300 million in series B funding led by Darsana Capital Partners, with participation from Altimeter Capital, Ark Invest, Robinhood Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners and Y Combinator. Boom Supersonic focuses on the development of advanced supersonic passenger airplanes, with its primary product being the Overture airliner, designed to significantly reduce travel times by flying at speeds up to twice that of conventional aircraft. The Overture is positioned to serve global airlines by facilitating rapid transportation for passengers, aiming to unlock new travel opportunities across long distances.


The company has also developed the XB-1 demonstrator, which serves as a prototype to validate the technology and operational capabilities required for commercial supersonic flight. Key partnerships with major airlines such as United Airlines, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines highlight the demand and confidence in Boom's offerings. These products are targeted primarily at the North American, European, and Asian markets, where there is a strong appetite for faster air travel among business and leisure travelers. Boom Supersonic generates revenue primarily through partnerships and contracts with major airlines, which involve securing orders for its flagship products, notably the Overture.


The business transactions typically involve long-term agreements where airlines commit to purchasing the Overture airliner for their fleets, thereby ensuring a steady revenue stream linked to aircraft sales. Revenue may also be supplemented through ancillary services related to aircraft support and maintenance. The pricing structure for the Overture and other services is established through negotiations with airline partners, considering factors such as aircraft specifications and operational efficiencies. The engagement model is predominantly B2B, aligning with airline clients to meet their operational needs for enhanced speed and efficiency in air travel.


The company plans to use the funding from December 2025 to develop its Symphony engine.
