The investment highlights North Carolina’s dedication to encouraging an environment that spurs tech development and aviation advancements. Given its big ambition and even higher cost, the fact that the factory’s construction is progressing ahead of schedule should come as welcome news. A spokesperson for Boom Supersonic confirmed that, by Q2 of next year, north Carolinans should expect the factory to be fully operational.
Additionally, the company reports progress with ground tests and securing critical clearances from the Federal Aviation Administration. Without these tests and green lights from the FAA, the company won’t be able to launch its first flight—its prototype jest is set to debut at the Mojave Air & Space Port later this year.
