2025 @boomaero todo list: ✅ Break sound barrier ✅ Demonstrate sonic boom fix ✅ Legalize supersonic flight ✅ Freeze Overture design ✅ Introduce major new effort ✅ Launch vertically-integrated engine mfg ☑️ Assemble supersonic jet engine I’d be proud of just one…

Today Symphony engine VP ⁦@NSheryka⁩ led an impromptu @boomaero happy hour all hands to celebrate a big victory. It’s go time!

The machine shop is spinning up—literally. We’re putting our new Mazak Quick Turn 450MY lathe through its paces, building out the in-house capability to cut and shape precision parts for Symphony and beyond. Supersonic innovation starts on the shop floor. ⚒️ ✈️

Happening this morning at the 2025 AIAA AVIATION Forum ➡️ Catch Boom’s David Lazzara on the “Changing the Fleet” panel. The conversation will explore what it takes to integrate new technologies into existing infrastructure, airspace, and markets as we look ahead to 2050. 🗓️ Today: Friday, July 25 🕤 – A.M. PT 📍 Forum 128 | @aiaa AVIATION Forum, Las Vegas Convention Center

It’s Christmas in July @boomaero. Machine tools arriving daily. Pretty soon we’ll be turning big blocks of metal into the world’s most advanced jet engine…

Never predefine your own limits: @bscholl on the Silicon Valley Girl podcast.

How do you redesign the global fleet for a faster, cleaner, smarter future? This Friday Boom’s David Lazzara, Staff Scientist, Applied Aerodynamics, will be part of the “Changing the Fleet” panel at the 2025 @AIAA AVIATION Forum, where he and fellow panelists will discuss how technologies like supersonic, hybrid electric, and advanced air mobility will reshape commercial aviation. 🗓️ Friday, July 25 🕤 9:30 – 11:30 A.M. PT 📍 Forum 128 | AIAA AVIATION Forum, Las Vegas Convention Center

Our mill turn weighs in at 65,000lbs, holds 160 tools in its magazine, and can precision machine large castings and forgings. A fully-assembled Symphony engine weighs as much as XB-1 at landing. These are big machines, folks.

At Mach 1.7, Overture outflies Earth’s rotation. So you can have breakfast in London… and fly to New York… for breakfast. And then to San Francisco just in time for breakfast. In fact if you just keep flying west you can keep having breakfast indefinitely.

Symphony machine tools are literally arriving daily this week. This giant lathe is one of the smaller units. Yesterday we took delivery of a 65,000lb machine—which just barely fit through the loading door. Hardware is just more fun.
