Ultra-fast planes to be built and tested in North Carolina by Boom Supersonic.

• The Overture is Boom’s first commercial supersonic plane.
• The company intends to commence constructing the aircraft in 2024, with the first model being produced in 2025 and the initial test flight scheduled for 2026.
• By 2029, Boom's supersonic jet would be commercially available.

Greensboro, N.C., has been chosen by Boom Supersonic to construct and test the ultra-fast airplanes that the company believes will revive commercial supersonic flights.

A new aviation manufacturing facility is being built in the region, with the Greensboro-based plant expected to employ 1,750 workers by the end of the decade. In the last 11 years, two other final assembly plants have been established in North Charleston, S.C., and Mobile, Ala.

Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, stated in an interview with CNBC that Greensboro is the ideal location for their new project, The Overture, due to its local skilled labor population and the presence of over 200 aerospace suppliers in the state.

Boom's first commercial supersonic plane, known as the Overture, is set to enter commercial service by 2029. The company plans to begin building the plane in 2024, with the first one rolling off the line in 2025 and the initial test flight taking place in 2026.

North Carolina's state slogan, "First in Flight," honors the Wright Brothers' first successful flight at Kitty Hawk. Governor Roy Cooper recognized the state's heritage in a statement about Boom Supersonic's first manufacturing plant. He said, "It is both poetic and logical that Boom Supersonic would choose the state that's first in flight for its first manufacturing plant."

Boom, based in Denver, will continue designing aircraft at its headquarters but chose Greensboro due to its proximity to the Atlantic coast. Scholl stated that the ocean's proximity is crucial as the majority of flight tests will be conducted over water, allowing the plane to speed up and avoid sonic booms over populated areas.

The Overture will fly at a top speed of Mach 1.7, or about 1,300 mph, allowing it to shave hours off of some of the longest international flights. For instance, the company claims the new plane will fly from Tokyo to Seattle in four and a half hours, instead of the typical flight time of eight and a half hours.

United Airlines has ordered 15 Overture supersonic planes.
