Aerospace manufacturer Boom Supersonic has received its first commercial order for the Superpower natural gas turbine, which has already accumulated more than $1.25 billion in customer orders.
Superpower’s First Customer
Superpower is a 42-megawatt natural gas turbine built using the same core architecture as Boom’s Symphony jet engine. It is designed to deliver high and consistent ISO-rated output in hot and dry environments, operate without water, and run on natural gas with backup diesel capability.
Boom’s first Superpower customer, Crusoe—described by the company as an energy-first AI infrastructure provider—has ordered 29 Superpower units to supply energy to its AI data centers, totaling 1.21 gigawatts of planned capacity.
Manufacturing
Boom said Superpower production will take place in the U.S., and plans to ramp total turbine output to more than four gigawatts annually by 2030.
The company also reported that 95% of Symphony engine core prototype parts are currently in manufacturing, with testing scheduled to begin in 2026 at its Colorado test facility.
Funding
To fund Symphony engine development, Boom recently closed a $300 million Series B funding round.
Revenue from the Superpower turbine will support certification and delivery of Overture, a supersonic airliner currently in development.
