Boom Supersonic has taken another step towards its ambitious goal of reintroducing commercial supersonic<\/a> air travel by the end of this decade. The Colorado-based company released key updates on Tuesday regarding its flagship Overture aircraft and the Symphony engine that will power the supersonic commercial jet. This comes a month after Boom Supersonic officially inaugurated its state-of-the-art factory<\/a> located at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina. The American company chose the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK to reveal Overture\u2019s cutting-edge flight deck, which is built around technology developed by partner Honeywell.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \u201cAs we stand here at Farnborough in 2024, it\u2019s now been two decades since either Boeing or Airbus has launched an all-new airliner programme,\u201d said Chief Executive Blake Scholl. \u201cWe\u2019re in danger of going a generation without new airliners. We\u2019ve stopped progressing and, in many ways, we\u2019ve gone backwards. It\u2019s never been more clear that passengers and airlines are not well-served by the duopoly we have today.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the information revealed by Boom, Overture\u2019s state-of-the-art flight deck runs on Honeywell\u2019s Anthem avionics suite. Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturers Lilium and Vertical Aerospace have also gone with the same futuristic system. Boom claims Overture would be the commercial jet to feature dual-force feedback sidesticks, which will give a tactile feel to the pilots of how the aircraft is flying. \u201cOverture\u2019s fly-by-wire system sends artificial feel to the stick, giving the pilot a tactile stick and rudder experience,\u201d Scholl added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
