Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom. We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇
We will organize an around-the-world supersonic brunch in which the most amazing breakfast from each culture is served in every city we land in. What should be on the menu?
At Mach 1.7, Overture outflies Earth’s rotation. So you can have breakfast in London… and fly to New York… for breakfast. And then to San Francisco just in time for breakfast. In fact if you just keep flying west you can keep having breakfast indefinitely.

Symphony machine tools are literally arriving daily this week. This giant lathe is one of the smaller units. Yesterday we took delivery of a 65,000lb machine—which just barely fit through the loading door. Hardware is just more fun.
The first machine has arrived in Boom’s new shop. 🚛🛠️ Our Mazak Quick Turn 450MY lathe is installed and ready to start supporting Symphony—the engine for sustainable supersonic flight. The shop is coming online, and there’s much more to come. ✈️
This is so sick, but Overture is made of carbon fiber. She's naturally a sleek matte black.
don't paint it keep it raw aluminum like starship and partner with @redbull opportunity of a lifetime
Concorde did Pepsi. What should Overture do?
When @pepsi livery for @boomaero ?
It’s time to rebuild better!

Taking 12 y/o to first sleep away camp @CTYJohnsHopkins—for 3 weeks of astronomy. “Next year I want to do astrophysics.” CTY changed my life as a kid—my first experience that “school” could be exciting, challenging, interesting. So glad my kids are doing it a generation later!
Flashback to 2018 when Mike Bannister let me put the nose down on @ConcordeGBBDG
Checked in on the @boomaero machine shop today. Our gigantic Mazak lathe will be cutting chips next week—and then we get a mill turn and several other machines. The mfg team is over the moon… building badass hardware again. Boom won’t build jet engines? Hold my Jet A.
What happens in Vegas... can leave Vegas at Mach 1.7
Boom is heading to Las Vegas July 21-25! ✈️ We’re placing our bets on finding driven, innovative talent ready to help transform air travel at the 2025 AIAA AVIATION Forum. Connect with Boom’s Claire Nilan and David Lazzara at the Meet the Employers event to learn more about our…
