I am proud of the team that has stuck it out in Mojave for the past year preparing for the flight test – they did it! Awesome to see all the hard work pay off – I miss the team.
Today (3/22/24), Boom announced the successful flight of XB-1, the world’s first independently developed supersonic jet, at the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California. Like Overture, Boom’s supersonic airliner, XB-1 leverages state-of-the-art technologies to enable efficient supersonic flight including carbon fiber composites, advanced avionics, digitally-optimized aerodynamics, and an advanced supersonic propulsion system.
