The "Steven" Dossier [DECLASSIFIED]

The Webpage “Overture” from Boom Supersonic (n.d) introduces the in-development supersonic jet-liner the Boom Overture. The Overture has a flight range of 4250   nautical miles (7867km) and a cruising altitude of 60k Ft. The structural integrity of the overture comprises of all-composite aerostructures, hence being able to support the contoured fuselage and its gull wings for increase aerodynamic efficiency. The landing gear system is designed to be compatible with all airport runways and taxiways across the globe. The flight control and hydraulic system of the overture an active sidestick control and three primary flight control on board computers, including an additional fourth one for additional safety. In terms of the hydraulics, the overture features a triple redundant hydraulic system that provides reliable power for flight controls and mechanical systems. The fuel system of the aircraft is designed to provide a centre of gravity control especially during subsonic and superso...

In order to pick up where the famous Concorde left off, the Boom Overture aircraft features a swept back delta wing and feuselage design profile that allows the aircraft to achieve a cruising speed of Mach 1.7 (2100 km/h). the Overture has an estimated wingspan of 52 meters in length and 18 meters in width. In terms of the wing design, (Singh & Dwivedi, 2022), described through their experiments that an aircraft with a swept back delta wing design yielded a better lift to drag ratio as compared to the standard delta wing design. Another advantage of having swept back delta wing design, as described by Pierre Sartre, where he analysed the Overtures predecessor, the Concorde, concluded that its swept delta wing design not only allows for supersonic travel, but also allows for better low speed controllability of the aircraft (Sartre, 1973). Other design features of the Overture such as the nonaxisymmetrical feuselage also aids it in achieving its top speed. According to   (Makino,...
