The spiritual heir to the Concorde will be able to fly from New York to London in only 3.5 hours.
, Boom's Overture will have a quieter supersonic boom than the Concorde, meaning it will face fewer restrictions while flying over populated areas. The company says the aircraft has buzz-free engines, no afterburners, and will feature the world's first automated noise reduction system. This means it shouldn't be louder than conventional aircraft during takeoff.Boom Supersonic also announced that it has reconfigured the aircraft's fuselage and gull wings, and added more engines.
To be precise, Overture will now feature four smaller engines on its wings, which will allow it to be quieter and also decrease operational costs. The aircraft will have a 106-feet wingspan and a length of 201 feet.Boom Supersonic still has some work to do to meet that goal of being operational in 2024. According to Boom, the design for the new version of Overture is based on"26 million
core-hours of simulated software designs, five wind tunnel tests, and the careful evaluation of 51 full design iterations."Still, Boom CEO Blake Scholl announced that the company is still working on procuring a specific engine for its aircraft.The new Overture design also features a wider fuselage near the front, which will reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. The new gull wing design, meanwhile, will improve safety when flying at lower speeds, and it will also decrease engine strain.
