Boom’s Supersonic Aircraft: How Will They Manage To Turn A Profit?

How is Boom Supersonic hoping to make a profit with the 65-88 seat supersonic Overture? It is difficult (or risky) to profit from supersonic aircraft. They have very high development costs, high operating costs, and many restrictions on their use. Only two supersonic passenger jets have ever flown – the Soviet Tu-144 and the Anglo-French Concorde. The Soviet Tu-144 never made a profit (and it wasn’t intended to – it was purely for geopolitical competition). The Concorde made losses at first but later made a tidy profit.
