BROBROK News · Based on reporting by DiarioBitcoin ·
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said Boom is unlikely to meet its 2029 target for the Overture jet and still faces major technical and regulatory hurdles. At the same time, Boom is expanding into gas turbines for AI data centers after losing a large contract.
Key points
- Scott Kirby said the 2029 timeline does not look achievable.
- Boom still needs to clear technical milestones and FAA certification.
- The company opened a Colorado plant for 42 MW turbines.
- Boom lost a $1.25 billion deal with Crusoe.
- It is pushing AI data center turbines as a separate revenue stream.
Why it matters
The story highlights how hard it is to move a supersonic aircraft from testing to commercial service. It also shows Boom leaning on a second business line to support its growth while the jet program remains uncertain.
