Supersonic Jet Engines Will Soon Power AI Data Centers
In the future, when using AI, it can be powered by supersonic jet engines. Boom Supersonic recently announced its Superpower turbines for AI data centers, which are slightly modified versions of the Symphony engines that Boom makes for its aircraft.
It’s common for engine makers to make power turbines, and data center operators are already turning to jet engine technology to fuel the AI boom. Blake Scholl, CEO of Boom, says his company’s supersonic engine technology offers some advantages over traditional power turbines.
Boom’s Superpower turbines aim to provide power to AI data centers.
Boom recently retired its experimental XB-1 aircraft and is currently developing its full-scale Overture aircraft, which the company says should begin carrying passengers in about five years. The superpower could serve as a bridge between these planes, raising money to help finance Overture and giving Boom the opportunity to test its engine technology on the ground before taking flight.
Boom’s Overture aircraft is expected to begin carrying passengers in about five years.
