Boom Supersonic Prepares to Test Sprint Core for Symphony Engine
Boom Supersonic is set to test its Sprint Core, a pivotal component of the Symphony engine, in Q3 2026. This test is crucial for the company's goal to resume supersonic passenger travel by 2030, potentially reducing flight times between New York and London significantly.

Boom Supersonic plans to test the Sprint Core, integral to its Symphony engine, within weeks. This engine is designed to produce about 40,000 pounds of thrust, with four engines required for the Overture aircraft, which targets passenger service by 2030.
The upcoming test at Colorado Air and Space Port involves assessing the compressor, combustor, and turbine performance under extreme conditions. Boom's manufacturing strategy includes collaboration with StandardAero for engine assembly and production plans for Overture in North Carolina.
The company has reported 130 total orders and options, though not all are firm commitments. A successful Sprint Core run could mark a significant advancement toward commercial supersonic travel.
