Supersonic jet startup Boom has pivoted, securing $300M in funding and a $1.25B order backlog for its 'Superpower' turbines to fuel AI data centers. First customer Crusoe ordered 29 units, delivering 1.21 GW of water-independent, natural gas power. This strategic move addresses the AI industry's critical power demands, projected at $400B this year, while funding Boom's Overture airliner development. It underscores the urgent need for innovative energy solutions in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure landscape.
