Boom Supersonic Completes First Turbine Core, Unveils 2GW Superpower Superfactory, Launches World’s Most Advanced Digital Foundry

Boom Supersonic, America’s most vertically integrated aviation and energy company, led by Blake Scholl and the team, has 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; the first single-crystal components are expected to ship in 2027.

Boom’s turbine core is shipping to its Colorado test site as construction continues at the Superpower Superfactory, where turbine parts are already being manufactured. The facility will produce 42-megawatt natural gas turbines for AI data centers, with first customer deliveries targeted for mid-2027 and annual production capacity expected to reach 1GW by 2028 and 2GW 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.

Boom’s first prototype turbine core, Sprint Core, will power both Superpower, its 42MW turbine for AI data centers, and Symphony, the engine for its Overture supersonic airliner. Equipped with over 1,000 sensors, the core will generate data to refine engineering models and optimize production designs. Testing will take place at Boom’s Colorado facility, with the first turbine firing expected before Thanksgiving.

New American Turbine-Manufacturing Capacity.

Boom’s $150 million Superpower Superfactory in Centennial, Colorado, spans nearly 200,000 square feet across two buildings and is expected to be fully operational by early 2027. The facility is already manufacturing parts and will produce components representing approximately 85% of the final turbine’s mass, supported by plans for more than 75 large-format CNC and measurement machines.

By integrating engineering, manufacturing, assembly, and testing, Boom aims to accelerate production, improve quality control, and reduce component turnaround times from weeks or months to hours or days. Sprint Core already incorporates several Boom-manufactured components, demonstrating the company’s vertically integrated approach.

Casting at the World’s Most Advanced Digital Foundry.

Boom plans to build an all-digital, single-crystal foundry at its Superpower Superfactory to manufacture advanced turbine blades and vanes from custom superalloys without tooling. The capability aims to accelerate design iteration, testing, and production of components built to withstand extreme temperatures.

The initiative extends Boom’s digital manufacturing strategy, with infrastructure designed to adapt quickly between civilian and defense production. The milestones were announced at Boom’s Centennial R&D facility, with U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright attending the turbine reveal and Colorado Governor Jared Polis participating in the manufacturing and jobs announcement.
