Aerospace Firms Pivot to Power AI

Boom Supersonic has slowed its Overture airliner timetable as it builds a factory to produce a 42‑megawatt natural‑gas turbine called 'Superpower' for AI data centers, with prototype 'Sprint Core' testing and mid‑2027 delivery goals. The move repurposes aerospace engineering toward on‑site power for compute, with explicit production ramp targets (25 turbines in 2028, 50 in 2029). — If aerospace and other advanced‑manufacturing firms shift into powering AI infrastructure, that will reshape industrial strategy, local permitting fights, energy demand, and climate policy decisions.
