We are a group of highly-motivated students from all over the world, facing more than one challenge.

Exceeding the sound barrier is just the destination. This is the journey. 

With over 200 students representing 70+ universities in 19 countries on 5 continents, Project Boom was created with the goal of being the first student group to reach speeds in excess of Mach 1 with a jet-powered remote-controlled aircraft. 

The Project Boom team will perform all initial flight tests of their high-speed vehicle in 2021. The purpose of these flights is purely for research and will represent a first in aircraft manufacturing. 

Project Boom's industry advisors include Lucien Junkin (NASA Space Exploration Vehicle Chief Engineer), Craig Damlo (Senior System Engineer at Blue Origin), Aldo Martinez (Multidicipline Engineer at Boeing), and Bryce Fong (Aeronautical Engineer at Lockheed Martin). Project Boom's industry partners include Solidworks, Siemens, and others.
