46 long years after the final Concorde rolled off the assembly line, the world has finally gotten a brand new factory that will build supersonic jets. This time, it’s across the Atlantic in North Carolina.

Boom Supersonic, the American company building the world’s fastest airliner, officially inaugurated its Overture Superfactory a few days back. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of construction. The state-of-the-art factory is located at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, which makes it the first supersonic airliner factory in the United States. The 180,000-square-foot facility was completed ahead of schedule without any safety incidents. It will house the final assembly line, test facility, and customer delivery center for the Boom Overture supersonic aircraft. “Construction of the Overture Superfactory represents a major milestone toward ensuring the United States’ continued leadership in aerospace manufacturing,” said Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. “Supersonic flight will transform air travel, and Overture provides a much-needed innovative alternative for airlines across the globe.”
