Boom Aerospace’s Overture supersonic airliner remains on schedule for FAA certification by the end of this decade, founder and CEO Blake Scholl maintained on Tuesday at the 2023 Paris Airshow. As proof of progress, he announced aerostructures suppliers for Overture 1, the first of its commercial models, and provided an update on the airplane’s homegrown Symphony engine program, including the naming of a production partner.

The company said it recently signed agreements with Aernnova for Overture’s wings, Leonardo for the fuselage and wing box, and Aciturri for the empennage. The structures are fully composite. Previously revealed suppliers include Safran Landing Systems, Eaton, Collins Aerospace, FlightSafety International, Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT), GE Additive, and StandardAero.
