There has been a growing interest in supersonic flight technology in the past few years, especially with the introduction of Boom Overture. Commercial supersonic aircraft can reach speeds greater than Mach 1.2, surpassing the speed of conventional subsonic aircraft. The purpose of these aircraft was to cut down on passenger travel time significantly. Commercial supersonic travel, which was previously experimented with using aircraft like the Concorde, is set to come back with Boom Overture thanks to previous supersonic aircraft innovation. The Overture is a new supersonic aircraft that aims to revive supersonic travel with updated technology, improved efficiency, and a focus on sustainability. It can transport passengers globally by flying at Mach 2.2. The aircraft consists of the wings manufactured by Aernnova, Leonardo for the fuselage and wing box, and the Symphony engine, which Boom developed. The Symphony engine is one of the critical features of the Overture's performance, wh...

Boom Supersonic's Overture aircraft represents a revolutionary leap forward in aviation technology, promising unparalleled speed, efficiency, and a reimagined travel experience. With its remarkable capabilities and innovative design, the Overture is poised to transform how we think about air travel. At the forefront of Boom Supersonic's vision is the Overture's ability to achieve speeds of Mach 1.7, enabling it to traverse long distances in record time. For instance, a flight from London to New York could be completed in just 3.5 hours  (Verdon, 2023) , significantly reducing travel times and unlocking new possibilities for global connectivity. This unprecedented speed not only enhances passenger convenience but also has the potential to reshape business logistics and tourism. Key to the Overture's performance is the Symphony engine architecture, a marvel of engineering that maximizes efficiency and minimizes operating costs. Featuring a 2-spool, medium-bypass turbofan ...
