Ahead of the competitive Globe40 competition in September, UTComp’s ultrasonic capabilities were used to test the viability of the craft’s carbon fiber mast, boom and bowsprit on the water.

Key deliveries include the complete composite wing assembly in June and booms anticipated by end of July, in anticipation of upcoming flights and 2028 commercial service.

Sixth flight reaching Mach 0.67, equipment installation in North Carolina facility and fuselage panel fabrication testing move supersonic travel plans forward.

Supersonic demonstrator aircraft has successfully completed its third flight using digitally optimized aerodynamics, carbon fiber composites and advanced supersonic engine intakes.

The facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, is expected to produce 33 Overture supersonic aircraft per year, with room to grow.

NASA ACS3 system made of flexible polymer and carbon fiber materials has successfully deployed its boom system, shows potential for future space operations.

Supersonic demonstrator met all test objectives, aided by use of carbon fiber materials, advanced avionics, digitally optimized aerodynamics and a supersonic propulsion system.

New strategic investment from NEOM comes as XB-1, Symphony and Overture achieve important program turning points.

CAMX 2024: Hawthorn Composites is displaying an inner and outer tail boom and a multi-chamber composite trailing edge control surface, enabled via its Smart Tooling solution.

The week-long international airshow provided a hub for new announcements made by Boom Supersonic, Airbus, Boeing, GKN, GE, ZeroAvia, Eve, Bell, VoltAero, Eve and Lilium. CW has compiled several below.
