# Supersonic Airliner Startups Boom Technology's Airliner Will Be Faster Than the Concorde By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-03-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supersonic-airliner References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/supersonic-boom-price/42414/) & [boom.aero](http://boom.aero/) Boom Technology is an extremely ambitious company, based in the state of Colorado, that is all set to develop a 40-passenger supersonic airliner that will fly faster than the [Concorde](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-concorde-set) and will not be exorbitantly expensive. It sounds and is audacious, but Boom Technology is confident of developing a [supersonic passenger airliner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-3500) that can fly at speeds of Mach 2.2 (around 2,700 km/h). Headquartered at Centennial Airport, Boom Technology expects to build its supersonic airliner in only a few years. It will be able to carry 40 passengers in two single-seat rows of [first-class seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frontier-airlines) at a cruising altitude of 60,000 feet. Boom Technology's supersonic airliner is still in the artist concept and mock-up stage, but a development prototype is set to be ready to take on a first flight in late 2017. If Boom Technology succeeds in developing this airliner, it could completely revolutionize commercial travel, particularly in the premium and business areas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Supersonic Airliners:** Boom Technology is developing a supersonic airliner that will fly faster than the Concorde and not be exorbitantly expensive. - **Revolutionizing Commercial Travel:** If Boom Technology succeeds, their supersonic airliner could completely revolutionize commercial travel, particularly in the premium and business areas. - **Ambitious Aerospace Startups:** Boom Technology is one of the ambitious startups aiming to disrupt the aerospace industry with their supersonic airliner. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Aerospace:** Boom Technology's supersonic airliner is set to disrupt the aerospace industry. - **Travel and Tourism:** The development of Boom Technology's supersonic airliner could potentially revolutionize commercial travel and impact the travel and tourism industry. - **Manufacturing:** The production and manufacturing of Boom Technology's supersonic airliner will create new opportunities and disrupt the manufacturing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrogen-Powered Hypersonic Airplanes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-magnetar.md) - [Supersonic Aircraft-Inspired EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concorde-20.md) - [Ultra-Fast Private Jets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-8000.md) - [Opulent Hotel-Like Jumbo Jets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lufthansa-technik-explorer.md) - [Premium Commercial Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnifica-air.md) - [Revolutionary eVTOL Air Taxis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evtol-air-taxi.md) - [Futuristic Bladeless Planes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetopetra.md) - [Epochal Electric VTOLs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epochal-electric-vtol.md) - [Emissions-Free eVTOL Aircraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emissionsfree-evtol-aircraft.md)
