Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and aircraft delivery volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 25+ key manufacturers and developers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East (focusing on Boom Supersonic, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Boeing, Airbus, Aerion Corporation, Spike Aerospace, Virgin Galactic, Dassault Aviation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and emerging pulse detonation engine developers)
Product mapping across turbojet engines, turbofan engines, and pulse detonation engine propulsion systems, segmented by passenger capacity (1-3, 4-6, 7-10, and more than 10 passengers) and aircraft design topology (conventional design, delta wing design, flying wing design)
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to supersonic aircraft R&D programs, prototype development contracts, defense procurement awards, and commercial pre-order backlogs
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (aircraft deliveries by application × Average Selling Price by region; defense procurement units by military branch × unit cost) and top-down (aerospace manufacturer revenue validation, Tier 1 supplier content analysis) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for commercial aviation, military aviation, and private jet travel verticals
