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.

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. ...

4 天之前 · The XB-1 aircraft, manufactured by Boom Supersonic, was piloted by Tristan "Geppetto" Brandenburg, the company said in a news release. The plane, nicknamed "Baby Boom," took off from Mojave Air ...

4 天之前 · The experimental XB-1 aircraft, made by US company Boom Supersonic, flew faster than the speed of sound on 28 January. The achievement is the first time any civil aircraft has gone supersonic over ...

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.

5 天之前 · NASA is currently working on the X-59, a stiletto-like aircraft designed for quiet supersonic flight. The aircraft’s shape would stifle the sonic boom, making it sound more like the thunk of a ...

4 天之前 · Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 prototype test plane broke the sound barrier for the first time with a top speed of Mach 1.1. Another small step toward the return of supersonic travel.

Turbofan engine purpose-built by Boom and optimized for supersonic flight. The first American supersonic airliner factory, located in Greensboro, North Carolina. Boom is building the end-to-end value chain to bring commercial supersonic travel to the world. The latest news, updates, and interviews . directly from Boom.

2024年3月22日 · Boom’s supersonic demonstrator aircraft, XB-1, recently took off for the first time during a successful inaugural flight at the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California. As the world’s first independently developed supersonic jet, XB-1 is an entirely new airframe, designed as a technology demonstrator to inform the design and ...

The Air Force has conducted faster-than-sound test flights since 1947, and today most Air Force fighter aircraft are capable of supersonic speed. Consequently, supersonic training flights that simulate actual combat conditions are necessary to ensure the …
