Supersonic airliner in doubt as company shifts to powering AI data centers
摘要
Boom Supersonic近期公布在科罗拉多州建设工厂，为AI数据中心生产燃气轮机，CEO称此举意在推动能源与超音速飞行的复兴。但公司同时面临质疑：早期支持者对交付时间表提出疑问，部分支持者已退出。其首批客户之一、美联航CEO柯比表示，Boom原计划2029年交付首架Overture超音速客机“不会在29年实现，需要更长时间”。
Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl recently declared “it’s time for a renaissance in energy and in supersonic flight” as the supersonic airliner company unveiled a Colorado factory dedicated to making gas turbines for AI data centers. But Boom may be facing turbulence after early backers for both ventures have questioned the company’s delivery timeline or backed out entirely.
One of the company’s first customers, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, has expressed doubts about Boom’s original plan to deliver the first Overture supersonic airliner in 2029. Kirby’s latest frank assessment came during an interview with the Office Hours: Business Edition podcast that appeared on October 28, 2026.
“‘29 is their official timeline,” Kirby told podcast host Monica Langley. “It’s not going to happen in ‘29—it’s going to take longer.”
