In December 2017, Japan Airlines was confirmed to have pre-ordered up to 20 jets among the commitments to 76 from five airlines. At the 2017 Paris Air Show, 51 commitments were added for a backlog of 76 with significant deposits. An unnamed European carrier also holds options for 15 aircraft the two deals total 5 billion dollars. However in 2023 Virgin Group announced that its purchase options had expired. In March 2016, Richard Branson confirmed that Virgin Group holds options for 10 aircraft, and Virgin Galactic's subsidiary The Spaceship Company will aid in manufacturing and testing the jet. įor long-range routes like San Francisco–Tokyo and Los Angeles–Sydney, 30 lie-flat first-class seats could be proposed alongside 15 business-class seats. The same fuel burn enables fares similar to subsonic business class among other factors. īoom targets $5,000 fares for a New York-to-London round-trip, while the same on Concorde cost $20,000 adjusted for inflation it was its only profitable route.
The Boom factory will be sized to assemble up to 100 aircraft per year for a 1,000- to 2,000-aircraft potential market over 10 years. The company claims that operational costs per premium available seat mile will be lower than subsonic wide-body aircraft. Boom targets a $200 million price, not discounted and excluding options and interior, in 2016 dollars. There could be a market for 1,000 supersonic airliners by 2035.
With 4,500 nmi (8,300 km) range, transpacific flights would require a refueling stop: San Francisco and Tokyo would be 6 hours apart. The company says that five hundred daily routes would be viable: at Mach 1.7 over water, New York/Newark and London would be 3 hours and 30 minutes apart Newark and Frankfurt would be 4 hours apart. Regulations for takeoff noise or overland boom can be met or changed. Following a redesign revealed in 2022 it is intended to be powered by four dry (non- afterburning) 35,000 lbf (160 kN) turbofans. The aircraft is planned to have a delta wing configuration (similar to the Concorde), but will be built with composite materials. It had gathered 76 commitments by December 2017. The company claims that with 500 viable routes, there could be a market for 1,000 supersonic airliners with business class fares. The Boom Overture is a proposed Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn 1,800 km/h 1,100 mph), 64–80 passenger supersonic airliner with 4,250 nmi (7,870 km 4,890 mi) of range, which is planned to be introduced in 2029 by Boom Technology.
