Boom Supersonic Completes First Turbine Core, Unveils 2GW Superpower Superfactory, Launches World’s Most Advanced Digital Foundry
First turbine core based on Boom's supersonic technology completed, will be operational by Thanksgiving
New Superfactory will produce 2GW of Superpower natural gas turbines annually, creating 500 high-paying jobs
Boom is developing an all-digital foundry capable of casting the world's most advanced monocrystalline turbine blades on a toolless all-digital process
If needed, Superfactory and foundry can pivot to defense production rapidly with software changes
CENTENNIAL, Colo., October 22, 2026--Boom Supersonic today unveiled its first complete supersonic turbine core, unveiled a 2GW turbine superfactory, and announced it is developing the world's most advanced all-digital foundry, capable of casting the world's most advanced single crystal turbine blades and vanes. The Superfactory will create up to 500 high paying jobs. The Superfactory is operational now and already making turbine parts; first single crystal components are expected to ship in 2027.
The turbine core is shipping this week to Boom's vertically integrated test site at Colorado Air and Space Port in Watkins, Colorado, while the Superpower Superfactory is already manufacturing turbine parts as construction continues. The campus will produce Superpower, Boom's 42-megawatt natural gas turbine for AI data centers, with first customer deliveries targeted for mid-2027 and annual production rates of 1GW (25 turbines) by 2028 and 2GW (50 turbines) by 2029.
"It's time for a renaissance in energy and in supersonic flight," said Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. "The same team, technology, and culture is tackling both flight and energy. Today is a critical milestone as we ship a fully-assembled advanced turbine core less than a year after program launch. Boom is now taking on the full vertically-integrated manufacturing challenge to accelerate production."
A turbine built to accelerate development
Dubbed "Sprint Core," this is the first prototype turbine core, which will power both Superpower and Symphony, the engine for Boom's Overture supersonic airliner. It brings together the compressor, combustor, and high-pressure turbine—the most technically challenging portion of both products.
The core incorporates more than 1,000 sensors to measure temperatures, pressures, strains, timing, and vibrations. Including instrumentation on support systems such as fuel and lubrication, the full test setup includes approximately 2,000 sensors. The resulting data will help Boom calibrate its engineering tools and optimize the production Superpower design.
