4 天之前 · Boom Supersonic, the American company building what promises to be the world’s fastest airliner, broke the sound barrier for its first time with a test flight in Mojave, California, on Tuesday.

4 天之前 · The XB-1 aircraft accelerated to Mach 1.05 within about 11 minutes of taking off, according to Boom Supersonic and live video of the test flight. The flight at the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California, took place as the company works to revive supersonic passenger travel, which died with the grounding of the Anglo-French Concorde more ...

XB-1’s engine intakes slow supersonic air to subsonic speeds, efficiently converting kinetic energy into pressure energy, allowing conventional jet engines to power XB-1 from takeoff through supersonic flight.

4 天之前 · Boom Technology’s XB-1 test plane. On January 28, 2025, it became the first commercial-type aircraft to fly supersonic since the Concorde in 2003. Today, for the first time since Concorde was ...

3 天之前 · Boom Supersonic (or just "Boom") adopted a systematic approach to testing, taking the XB-1 through subsonic, transonic, and eventually supersonic speeds. Control and stability issues were resolved during the test program, leading to the successful flight on January 28 by Chief Test Pilot Tristan "Geppetto" Brandenburg.

3 天之前 · An aircraft developed by Boom Supersonic became the first independently funded jet to break the sound barrier this week. The XB-1 aircraft accelerated to Mach 1.05 at about 35,000 feet during a test flight Tuesday in the same Mojave Desert airspace in California where Charles “Chuck” Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier in 1947. ...
