Boom Supersonic will build a 42‑megawatt 'Superpower' natural‑gas turbine derived from its Symphony engine core to supply power to AI data centres; the company says revenue from turbine sales and recent financing will be used to underwrite further development of the Symphony engine and its Overture supersonic airliner.

Briefing
Boom's pivot turns an aircraft OEM technology — a Symphony‑derived 42 MW gas turbine — into a near‑term commercial product that the company says will generate revenue and funding for continued Symphony engine and Overture development; see earlier reporting on the company's launch order and funding for context: https://hype.aero/?story=175eaae0-155d-466a-a9e4-191249876ae9
The move enters a market already using jet‑powered mobile generators (~48 MW) to meet urgent AI power needs; a purpose‑built 42 MW offering affects operator choices, emissions profiles and logistics for hyperscaler and colocated data centres: https://hype.aero/?story=46a81c17-58ae-47a2-a3df-a16e63602a2f
