<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Overture Superfactory will be a state-of-the-art\nmanufacturing facility, including the final assembly line, test facility, and customer\ndelivery center for the Overture supersonic airliner. Carrying 65 to 88\npassengers, Overture is capable of flying on 100% sustainable aviation fuel\n(SAF) at twice the speed of today\u2019s fastest passenger jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSelecting the site for Overture manufacturing is a\nsignificant step forward in bringing sustainable supersonic air travel to passengers\nand airlines,\u201d said Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. \u201cWith\nsome of the country\u2019s best and brightest aviation talent, key suppliers, and\nthe state of North Carolina\u2019s continued support, Boom is confident that\nGreensboro will emerge as the world\u2019s supersonic manufacturing hub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Carolina offers Boom an optimal location for its\nmanufacturing facility thanks to its strong aerospace workforce, which includes\na large number of U.S. military veterans. North Carolina also affords good\naccess to technical schools, providing Boom with a pipeline of skilled labor.\nThe Piedmont Triad area is in close proximity to many tier-one aerospace\nsuppliers, benefitting Boom as Overture production ramps. Additionally, the\nclose proximity to the eastern seaboard facilitates supersonic flight testing\nover the Atlantic Ocean. Boom corporate headquarters remains just outside of\nDenver, Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Overture Superfactory will be approximately 400,000\nsquare feet and constructed on a 65-acre campus at the Piedmont Triad\nInternational Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boom will bring more than 1,750 jobs to North Carolina by\n2030, expanding to a total of more than 2,400 jobs by 2032. North Carolina\neconomists estimate that the Overture Superfactory will grow the state\u2019s\neconomy by at least $32.3 billion over 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To develop the next generation of supersonic professionals,\nBoom will also create 200 internships through 2032 for students who attend\npublicly funded North Carolina universities, community colleges, or technical\nschools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is both poetic and logical that Boom Supersonic would\nchoose the state that\u2019s first in flight for its first manufacturing plant,\u201d said\nNorth Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. \u201cLike the success of the Wright Brothers at\nKitty Hawk, this innovative company will succeed by transforming passenger air\ntravel with speed and sustainable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boom expects to break ground later this year on the Overture\nSuperfactory and will begin production in 2024. The first Overture aircraft is\nslated to roll out in 2025, fly in 2026, and carry its first passengers by\n2029. Commercial interest in Overture, including orders and options, totals $14\nbillion from United Airlines and Japan Airlines. Boom is also working with the\nUnited States Air Force on government applications of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
