Boom Supersonic will make its NBAA-BACE debut this year while rival Spike Aerospace advances its S-512 supersonic business-jet program. Both companies are courting the resurgent business aviation market, but significant technological, regulatory and commercial hurdles remain before Mach‑1+ private jets can reach service.

Briefing
Supersonic entrants are targeting a booming business-aviation market: business-jet flights hit all-time highs in 2025 and industry forecasts project 9,700 business-jet deliveries through 2034 (see record activity and delivery forecasts).
Major technical and regulatory milestones are still needed before commercial service: Boom’s XB-1 demonstrator progress, NASA’s X-59 low‑boom test program, Spike’s S-512 development and recent investment in supersonic propulsion underscore active R&D but no guaranteed service dates.
