A Technologically Advanced Flight Deck
Honeywell will manufacturer and supply the Honeywell Anthem flight deck which will be tailer made for the Overture. The Avionics have been tested on a Pilatus PC-12 testbed aircraft in May 2023, beginning the process towards FAA certification. In the renderings provided by Boom Supersonic, it appears that the flight controls will be “side stick” which is commonly found on Airbus aircraft and a handful of corporate jet aircraft. In the next few years, production of the first test aircraft is expected to begin with an estimated roll out in 2026.
