Boom Breaks ground for $500M factory & looks to roll out first SST Jetliner in 2026.

Here's how the factory will look.

The plant will not even be built here. It will be built in Greensboro, NC. I posted it here because it has to do with transportation & maybe infrastructure. The Overture is pictured in front of the building with another one off in the distance closer to the building & yet another one being brought out the door.. :)

Have any of you guys ever thought that the plane might come here after doing transatlantic flights from, say, London, Paris or other places. The A-380 does. Since it won't be flying cross-country because of the sonic boom, it WILL be flying from here across the pond to London, & or from the West Coast to say, Narita or Hong Kong (transpacific). United & American have already put their names in the pot for some of them, as did a few int'l airlines. The order book is beginning to grow. And there will be some improvements over the Concorde. :unsure: :)
 
Regardless of where this is posted (the factory is in Greensboro NC, so not here), that thing is never going to fly by 2026.

No major engine builder was willing to build them an engine, so they're building their own - jet engine development and especially certification is extremely expensive and time consuming when it's done by someone with a track record of developing one. Their current engine partners have only ever built small motors for missiles, which, shall we say, have rather different life cycle expectations.

They might know something that we don't. Regardless, they still intend to do it. May be a little longer, but they are determined to get it done. Someone posted a vid on YouTube, saying that Boom is dead, but that isn't true. The plan is very much alive & the plane WILL become a reality. It will be cheaper to fly on than it was for the Concorde. They've gotten backing from several cos to help them & they plan to hire over 2,000 people eventually as production gets into full swing. :)

Here's a rendering of how the passenger seating will look in the cabin. Every seat will have a window.
