Last December, it decided to make its own engine after engine manufacturers refused to help. Now its Symphony engine will be made with the help of FTT, GE Additive, and StandardAero. Sustainable aviation fuel is made from sources like cooking oil and waste, and can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel. The company is aiming to be net zero by 2025, and Scholl said using sustainable aviation fuel is key to this. Boom's Symphony engine.

Compania aerospațială proiectează Overture, un avion supersonic conceput pentru a găzdui de la 65 până la 88 de persoane, cu potențialul de a acoperi peste 500 de rute transoceanice la viteza Mach 2.2, mai mult decât dublul vitezei atinse de acualele avioane comerciale subsonice. Acest lucru ar înseamnă că o călătorie de la New York la Londra ar putea dura doar trei ore și 15 minute. Boom spune că în prezent are precomenzi de aeronave de 6 miliarde de dolari, devenind astfel primul concurent real al Aerion, care, cu jetul său supersonic, a anunţat că până în 2023 va putea zbura cu o mie de mile pe oră.
