Original: Supersonic airliner in doubt as company shifts to powering AI data centers

Reports suggest the company is also shifting focus toward supplying power for AI data centers, raising questions about whether its passenger aircraft will ever reach production.

Why now: Boom's apparent pivot to AI data center power and United's doubts about the 2029 timeline suggest the supersonic jet project may be stalling.
