Boom为AI数据中心燃气轮机揭幕科罗拉多工厂
Boom Supersonic在科罗拉多州Centennial揭幕一座专用工厂，用于生产面向数据中心的42兆瓦Superpower天然气轮机。公司计划于2027年年中向客户交付首批轮机，并将2028年年产量提升至25台、2029年达到50台。Boom还表示已完成Sprint Core原型机，该核心机计划用于Superpower轮机以及Overture飞机的Symphony发动机。该核心机定于感恩节前在Colorado Air & Space Port进行首次点火。
轮机业务是Boom在超音速飞机项目之外拓展的新收入方向，也与科技公司越来越多地优先采用天然气支持数据中心建设的趋势相符。不过，交付和产量数字均为公司目标；CEO Blake Scholl近期还承认，公司失去了Crusoe价值12.5亿美元、采购29台轮机的订单。

Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl recently declared “it’s time for a renaissance in energy and in supersonic flight” as the supersonic airliner company unveiled a Colorado factory dedicated to making gas turbines for AI data centers. But Boom may be facing turbulence after early backers for both ventures have questioned the company’s delivery timeline or backed out entirely.
One of the company’s first customers, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, has expressed doubts about Boom’s original plan to deliver the first Overture supersonic airliner in 2029. Kirby’s latest frank assessment came during an interview with the Office Hours: Business Edition podcast that appeared on October 28, 2026.
“‘29 is their official timeline,” Kirby told podcast host Monica Langley. “It’s not going to happen in ‘29—it’s going to take longer.”
