Boom Aerospace was founded 10 years ago with the ambitious goal of developing a supersonic passenger airliner. While Concorde was a commercial failure despite being a technological marvel, Boom believes that there's enough demand for supersonic passenger capability that there's a market worth addressing.
Right now the aircraft they have flying is a much smaller test aircraft - the XB-1 - a 3 engine supersonic jet intended to demonstrate some important new technologies and help the company acquire the skills needed to build the larger Overture passenger airliner.
