Today, we announced the completion of several key milestones for XB-1, our technology demonstrator aircraft. Earlier this year, XB-1 was moved to the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California to continue preparations for flight. The aircraft has undergone extensive ground testing since arriving, including taxi testing this week. Additionally, XB-1 recently received an experimental airworthiness certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), following a detailed aircraft inspecti

✈️ Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 Breaks the Sound Barrier! 🚀 The US-made Boom Supersonic jet has reportedly reached 839 mph (Mach 1.1) during its latest test flight from Mojave Air and Space Port, California! 🏁 The 21-metre-long test aircraft is paving the way for the future of low-boom supersonic travel. One of Concorde’s biggest limitations was the sonic boom, which restricted supersonic flight over land. If Boom can develop an aircraft of similar size with little or no sonic boom, it could be a ga
