    XB-1 Supersonic Prototype Makes Second Flight

    XB-1 Supersonic Prototype Makes Second Flight

    Handout photo shows Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator aircraft completing his second test flight on August 26, 2024 in Mojave Air and Spaceport, California, USA. The flight, led by Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, focused on critical evaluations of the aircraft’s systems. This included testing the retraction and extension of the landing gear, as well as assessing a digital stability augmentation system known as a roll damper to enhance in-flight stability. Additionally, tufting, a technique used to visualize airflow, was applied to the right wing to ensure aerodynamic performance. The XB-1 took to the skies for the first time on March 22, 2024, safely achieving an altitude of 7,120 feet (2,100 meters) and speeds up to 238 knots (273 mph). The XB-1 serves as a demonstrator for Boom’s upcoming Overture airliner. The supersonic passenger jet is poised to seat between 64 and 80 passengers and fly up to 4,250 nautical miles (7,867 kilometers) at a cruising speed of Mach 1.7. The production of the
