Three years ago, Symphony was an idea for an idea. Two years ago, Symphony was an idea. So cool to watch concept turn into hardware.
Boom Supersonic is redefining commercial flight by bringing supersonic flight back to the skies with Overture. This historic commercial airliner is designed and committed to industry-leading standards of speed, safety, and sustainability. Boom’s vision is to bring families, businesses, and cultures closer together through supersonic travel and make the world dramatically more accessible. Founded in 2014, Boom has assembled a team of over 150 full-time employees who have made contributions to over 220 air and spacecraft programs.

"Brazingly" just making our own supersonic jet engine. High pressure turbine blades now in the brazing process and then headed to heat treat, before assembly begins.

There's been a lot of talk in the hardware world about the trend toward vertical integration (after decades of outsourcing). But why? One part of the answer is that vertical integration collapses lead times—which enables faster iteration and makes hardware development look more like software. More on this in my latest Substack: https://lnkd.in/gwZczwdf

Making an all-new supersonic engine involves a lot of boring... but it's not boring! Boom has 40+ open roles in Denver—including for propulsion engineers and machinists. It's not the easiest place to work, but if you'd like to build the future of supersonic, consider joining forces. Boomsupersonic.com/careers.

My latest Substack is now live: Slacker Index: Why vertical integration is key for rapid hardware development In part 2 of a series, I break down what Slacker Index is and why optimizing lead times is so critical for enabling rapid, agile hardware development. https://lnkd.in/gwZczwdf

We're building a supersonic engine from scratch in Denver. This work does not exist anywhere else. And we're hiring. We're currently designing, fabricating, assembling, and testing a clean-sheet supersonic turbofan. We are actively expanding our team of machinists, NC programmers, and manufacturing engineers to make it happen. A recent candidate toured our facility and told me "it feels like a powder keg about to explode here—in a good way." They're right. We've regrouped after the XB-1 program to set our priorities straight. The flywheel is gaining inertia. I am so excited about the next few years. Come join us if you like doing the things everyone else says is impossible.
Symphony is moving from blueprint to metal. We’re machining and 3D-printing early hardware, with quality checks built in at every step. Vertical integration means more speed, more control, and real progress—every day.
Supersonic isn’t a concept. It’s a capability. Overture’s curve, every contour, every component has been shaped by one goal: to bring supersonic travel back—and better than ever. From boomless cruise for overland routes to precision manufacturing happening in-house at Boom, Overture is more than fast. It’s designed to lead. Because speed alone isn’t enough. To redefine air travel, you need breakthrough engineering, smart partnerships, an anchor in sustainability, and a team that knows how to build the future. Because we’ve done it already—you can watch it happen here: https://lnkd.in/eHeUWVFZ. This is supersonic, by design. #SupersonicIsComing

✈️Pushing the Boundaries of Supersonic Commercial #Flight Innovation✈️ We are proud to support Boom Supersonic as they redefine commercial air travel, with the Symphony engine leading the way. As part of their development process, Boom is leveraging #additivemanufacturing to accelerate progress on the sprint core test article. Using the EOS M 400-4, they’ve successfully printed and are testing more than 190 metal components – enabling rapid iteration and complex geometries that traditional methods can’t match.👀 Metal #3Dprinting doesn’t stop at the build. That’s why we also recognize the essential role of Solukon Maschinenbau GmbH's depowdering solutions in meeting the high standards required for #aerospace-grade parts. In this case, you see a Solukon SFM-AT350 in action. Together, we’re not just building parts - we’re building the future of flight.🙌
