Boom Supersonic has held a “ribbon-cutting ceremony” to celebrate the construction of their Overture Superfactory. Located at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, the Overture Superfactory is dubbed as the first supersonic airliner factory in the United States. Overture is Boom's supersonic airliner, which the company claims is “capable of flying twice as fast as today's commercial planes on up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)”. ""Construction of the Overture Superfactory represents a major milestone toward ensuring the United States' continued leadership in aerospace manufacturing,"" said Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. ""Supersonic flight will transform air travel, and Overture provides a much-needed innovative alternative for airlines across the globe."" A statement from Boom explains the plan for the factory: “This first assembly line has the capacity to produce 33 Overture aircraft per year, valued at more than $6 billion. With the building now complete, Boom will focus on operationalizing the production floor. “Boom plans to build an additional assembly line, scaling to produce 66 supersonic airliners annually. “The Overture Superfactory campus will also include a delivery center where airlines including United Airlines, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines will receive their supersonic aircraft”. ""As the state that was first in flight, North Carolina is excited to see Boom's progress toward delivering the world's first sustainable supersonic airliner,"" said Governor Roy Cooper. ""Our state has the skilled workforce, infrastructure and perfect location to help Boom revolutionize air travel."" ""The Piedmont Triad region is an economic powerhouse, helping solidify North Carolina's place as the top state for business. Boom's Overture Superfactory, which will produce a paradigm-changing airliner, showcases the new and innovative projects that are bringing jobs and investment here,"" said North Carolina Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger. ""We look forward to Boom's success in its mission to bring back commercial supersonic flight and help the U.S. maintain its leadership in aviation innovation,"" said Paul Mengert, Chair of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority. ""We're grateful for our partnership with the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, elected leaders, and the local community who will continue to give Boom a warm welcome to the Triad.""
