On August 26, 2024, Boom’s supersonic demonstrator aircraft, the XB-1, successfully completed its second test flight at the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California. CEO Blake Scholl says this milestone helps pave the way for Overture. Critics wonder whether the company can meet the aggressive timeframe it's set given its current resources.

Ultimately, Boom plans to have a workforce of about 2,400 people and the ability to churn out 33 planes a year.
