A somewhat unusual exhibitor for a business aviation trade show, Boom Supersonic is making its debut at NBAA-BACE this year. The Colorado-based startup, which is developing a boomless supersonic airliner, insists it has no plans to produce a supersonic business jet—at least not yet.

“Boom does not currently plan to build business jets, but we are supportive of opening up competition in the space,” a company spokesperson told AIN. “With so many developments and milestones toward the return of supersonic travel in 2025, now is a great time to engage with this audience.”
