Boom's supersonic jet timeline in doubt as it pivots to AI power

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says Boom Supersonic's Overture airliner will not be ready by its official 2029 target. Boom has turned to making 42-megawatt natural gas turbines for AI data centres, opening a Colorado factory on October 22, but it lost a $1.25 billion deal with Crusoe for 29 turbines. It aims to deliver its first turbines in mid-2027.
