Supersonic Pioneer Enters AI Infrastructure Market with High-Power Turbine
Boom Supersonic has secured a $1.25 billion order for its Superpower natural gas turbine, a 42-megawatt unit designed for AI data-center demand. The deal comes alongside a $300 million funding round led by Darsana Capital Partners. Boom plans to use the revenue to complete its Symphony engine and certify its Overture supersonic airliner. The company has assembled a team and executed with discipline, according to Darsana Capital Partners. The turbine operates without water and can maintain full output in high temperatures, addressing a key constraint for modern data-center growth. Boom’s order book for Overture stands at 130 aircraft from major airlines.
