Supersonic Return: Overture Rollout by 2027?


Boom Supersonic successfully flew its XB-1 demonstrator in 2025. This prediction asks if the company will unveil the fully assembled, full-scale 'Overture' airliner prototype before the end of 2027.

The Manufacturing Phase

The majority 'Yes' vote is based on Boom's completion of its 'Superfactory' in Greensboro and the successful flight data from XB-1. While flight testing of Overture is slated for later, the *rollout* (the physical completion of the first airframe) is the next major milestone. Current company timelines target 2027 for this event. Given the existing orders from United and American Airlines, the pressure to show physical hardware is immense.
