After the engine is decided design & drawings of the aircraft are worked on. While Boom Supersonic officials are yet to decide which engine will-be used in their Overture aircraft.
Media reports suggest that Baum officials are in talks with Rolls Royce & several other auto companies instead of building their own engine.

Boom CEO Black School says that when his company plane takes off in 2029 it will be a different scene than it is today & the supersonic plane will cover the distance from New York to London in just three & a half hours. which nowadays takes 7 to eight hours.

However critics say we should face the fate of the Concorde supersonic jets. Made in Britain & France aircraft proved to be a white elephant for airlines due to their price and travel costs & 20 years ago the Concorde was phased out of their fleets.
Boom Supersonic says the cost of its planes will be lower. They will use three or the same four engines running on alternative fuels in their planes which will-be environment friendly.
