Summary
Boom Supersonic raises $300 million to develop AI data center turbines and lands a massive $1.25 billion order from Crusoe for 29 water-free, 42-megawatt units that use the same supersonic technology powering their commercial airliners.
Key Points
- Boom Supersonic secures $300 million in funding led by Darsana Capital Partners to develop Superpower natural gas turbines for AI data centers
- Crusoe orders 29 Superpower units worth over $1.25 billion, with each 42-megawatt turbine designed to operate without water and maintain full capacity in extreme heat
- The same supersonic technology powers both the Superpower turbines and Symphony jet engines for Boom's Overture supersonic airliner, with production planned to reach four gigawatts annually by 2030
