Boom Supersonic Plane | Inside the Boom Overture Plane

Airplane startup Boom is set to make supersonic flight on airlines a reality with their all new plane called Overture. The Boom Overture supersonic plane is set to be the new Concorde breaking the sound barrier and speed of sound marking a next chapter in passenger Aviation. United Airlines is one of many companies that have already placed orders with Boom for their new supersonic plane and customers can expect to fly on this new plane in the next couple of years. Join us today as we learn more about Boom’s Supersonic plane called Overture.

Fun fact, Concorde's maximum speed wasn't limited by the power of her engines, but by heat sensors on the nose and wing leading edges that limited it's speed to its maximum skin temperature of 127°C. The skin was made from an Aluminium alloy, and not Titanium. This was done to keep costs down.

I was 8 years old when I experienced The Concorde. it was exciting. 🇫🇷

The $100 price is wayyy too good to be true 😂 ain't no way that's possible, I'm literally about to spend $1000 on an economy flight to Malaysia...

I so very badly this becomes a viable option in air travel soon! I never got the chance to fly concord but this being a reality means I can fulfill a lifelong dream of supersonic flight! Let’s hope it comes together as planned

I'm hoping to have the opportunity to fly on this awesomely prestigious Aircraft sometime in the future. Thank you so very much.

When the Concorde first debut, there were 2 other competitors.

We all know Concorde was made by the British and French. But there was also another version of the fast supersonic plane. The US made the Boeing 2707, a supersonic plane. But the plane was a commercial flop. More flop than supersonic jet. And then the Soviets made the Tupolev-144.

The Boeing 2707 died because of how loud it was. Worse, it was very expensive because the plane was designed to cruise at a higher altitude than the Concorde and thus its skin was made of Titanium. But more embarrassingly, it died even before it was bought by other airlines - in its testing phase.

The Concorde died because of the Air France 4590 crash. However, what's pretty ironic is that the plane didn't crash by itself, it was due to a part of another plane, which, get this, its model is the DC-10. Yep. Turns out that you don't need to be inside a DC-10, the plane of death, to crash down and either survive with injuries or die. It wasn't as expensive as the Boeing 2707 and it was the best supersonic plane out of all the other competitor planes.

Lastly, the Tupolev-144. It basically was never shipped to any other airlines, it passed its testing phase, and it died silently due to unknown reasons. However, it may be due to the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union or the 1970 Paris Air Show crash.

Basically, in the 1970s (Forgot which year), Paris held air shows which featured the Concorde we all know and love, and the Tupolev-144. In an effort to look better than the Concorde, the pilots of the Tupolev-144 plane flew it faster and did more daring maneuvers that looked better than the maneuvers the pilots of the Concorde performed. However, these daring acts would lead to their demise, because in a combination of stressing the airframe performing those maneuvers and also not aware of the plane losing altitude, the plane broke apart in 3 pieces and crashed. No one survived.

BOOM is a fantastic company. Blake Scholl is a real visionary.

How does this man not have at least 100k subs?

[HerobrineNotch]

So booms 3 main goals do not include safety ?

[ShinLeeChan]

Not even in a short range flight it cost $100 right now. Unless you find a last minute flight.
I'm sure at the launch it will be 100 'cause they need ppl to try it, to appreciate it and to show it is safe and fast.

Once they'll be done with marketing at $100, prices will go up to the normal cost that these kind of jets have, not less than $1500 for sure.

What does the bathroom look like inside the airplane?

[SingingPostman]

I'm also waiting for Hypersonic Commercial Aircraft. Thank you so very much.

[casanoceres-igbm]

yes iam ready... with my wife of course

[ExMaster]

Hope it works out for them. Even if they’re able to do it for so cheap, at 65 passengers a flight you won’t be transporting too many people.

[Neolithicalfr]

How will it not face the same sound problem that the concorde had?

[Shibu]

I just read the delivery of the first aircraft to United airlines is scheduled for 2029. Is the delivery of the first Overture jet still set to be 2023?

[barneywaggles]

I know there have been orders...just like Tesla. It will happen...but not in my lifetime. But I will be eighty this November. Good luck!

The concord could break windows with its supersonic boom.

[amyphillips]

I. Can’t. Wait. I’ll. Fly. In. It. Just. For. The. Speed. !

[jbshaka]

Doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. (FYI, Rolls Royce dropped out of this BOOMdoggle)
