About 130 Overture planes have been pre-ordered, the company said. Airlines including American Airlines, United Airlines and Japan Airlines have placed pre-orders. The company finished building a "superfactory" in North Carolina in 2024, and will eventually produce 66 planes per year.

That's a pretty aggressive program with plans for numbers they are posting. I remember years ago while driving south of the Dallas-Forth Worth national airport late one afternoon seeing one of the SS planes silhouetted against a huge orange sky making a landing with the cockpit section drooped down so they could see the ground. Very surreal terridytal dinosaurs looking. The suspended flights no long after that date. I hope they do well.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a big gamble for the airlines to be ordering so many of these planes when there haven't been any built yet, and they don't even have an engine for them. Also, I understand that the name "Boom" comes from Sonic Boom, but that's not the best name for a company that will be building passenger airplanes.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing about the Boring Machine Co
