Resolves based on the date of the first reported supersonic passenger-carrying flight of the Boom Overture aircraft.

For a given year of resolution, all markets up to the year before will resolve "NO", then all markets for that year and later will resolve "yes". So for example, if the Overture makes its first passenger-carrying flight on 2030-06-01, then "By end of 2025":"By end of 2029" will resolve "NO", and "By end of 2030":"By end of 2040" will resolve "YES".

If the flight was conducted at the end of one year but the press release made at the start of the next, I will resolve based on the datetime of the flight, not the press release.

"Passenger-carrying" is a little vague, but I'll take this to be carrying non-engineering and non-pilot passengers who do not work for Boom, as on a maiden flight. They do not need to have paid for that ticket to be classified as "passengers". Supersonic test flights with onboard pilots and engineering, while awesome, do not count as passenger-carrying.

I have an option for "Boom Overture will not make a supersonic passenger-carrying flight" to cover the risk of Boom going bust or pivoting away from the Overture.

If another company buys Boom, but development of a supersonic passenger aircraft based on the Overture design outline continues, I will consider that to still be the Overture.
