Boom Supersonic manufactures supersonic passenger jets and turbines for ground-based power plants. The company's core technology is the turbofan engine, originally designed for supersonic flight. The XB-1 demonstrator aircraft, powered by this engine, became the first civilian aircraft to break the sound barrier. It also served as the basis for the Superpower stationary 42-MW power plant. Boom supplies these turbines with generators, control systems and performs preventive maintenance. The turbines achieve 39% efficiency, which is comparable to competitors. However, Boom is also developing a "field upgrade" to convert its turbines from a simple cycle to a combined cycle, which can recover heat from exhaust gases to increase efficiency above 60%. A key advantage is that Superpower turbogenerators are shipped in a compact shipping container. The company has a contract with Crusoe, an AI infrastructure leader, to supply 29 turbines for AI data centers.
