Colorado-based aerospace company Boom Supersonic closed a $300 million funding round led by Darsana Capital Partners. The company also unveiled its new Superpower 42-megawatt natural gas turbine, which uses a high-power output engine core to power AI data centers. The company has a $1.25 billion backlog for the turbine, including an order for 29 units from AI company Crusoe.
Boom Supersonic’s primary mission is to make supersonic flight accessible by developing Overture, the world’s fastest airliner. The company is simultaneously developing the Symphony engine for Overture, which shares its advanced core technology with the new high-performance, waterless Superpower turbine.
The new $300 million funding fully finances the development of the Symphony engine. Future revenues from the Superpower turbine business will be dedicated to funding the final certification and delivery of Overture.
