Boom Supersonic, the company aiming to develop the world’s fastest airliner, has chosen Honeywell’s Anthem integrated flight deck for its Overture aircraft. This collaboration involves integrating Honeywell’s next-generation flight deck and modular avionics platform into the Overture, Boom’s supersonic commercial aircraft. Boom Supersonic’s Overture is designed to be a supersonic commercial aircraft, offering faster-than-sound travel with sustainability in mind. By incorporating advanced avionics from Honeywell, Boom aims to equip Overture with cutting-edge technology, reducing pilot workload and enhancing overall safety.
The Honeywell Anthem flight deck will be customized to meet the specific mission requirements of Overture, emphasizing enhanced safety and situational awareness. The advanced avionics interface aims to provide a seamless experience for Overture pilots, from simulator-based training to actual flights. Honeywell’s Anthem integrated flight deck underwent successful testing on its Pilatus PC-12 test aircraft, marking a crucial step toward Federal Aviation Administration certification.
“Honeywell has an extensive history of aerospace innovation and shares our vision of a faster future through sustainable supersonic flight,” said Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. “We’re proud to work with Honeywell to realize one of the most advanced flight decks in the sky, with state-of-the-art technologies that reduce pilot workload and increase safety,” he further added.
Honeywell, known for its history of aerospace innovation and expertise in integrated modular avionics, brings a wealth of experience to the partnership. The company has a track record of supporting aircraft programs and developing avionic systems for large and complex aircraft.
“For decades, Honeywell has supported aircraft programs that build the future for aviation,” said Vipul Gupta, president, Electronic Solutions, Honeywell Aerospace.“We are looking forward to partnering with Boom to usher in a new generation of supersonic travel,” he further added.
