Brief
Boom converted its high-temperature Symphony engine core from the Overture supersonic airliner into Superpower, a 42 MW, compact, waterless natural-gas turbine that sustains full output above 110°F. The product targets AI data centers requiring rapid, reliable local power, with sales used to finance and speed development of the Overture jet program.
Why it matters
Boom repurposed its Symphony engine core (originally built for the Overture supersonic airliner) into Superpower, a 42 MW natural gas turbine.
Key details
- The Superpower turbine is a compact, waterless unit that maintains full output above 110°F, targeting AI data centers that need faster, more reliable on-site power than the grid can provide.
- Revenue from Superpower sales is intended to fund and accelerate the Overture jet program—Boom calls this move a boomerang, not a pivot.
