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

Chinese commercial aircraft complete demo flights with sustainable fuel

STORY: Chinese commercial aircraft complete demo flights with sustainable fuel SHOOTING TIME: June 5, 2024 DATELINE: June 6, 2024 LENGTH: 00:00:55 LOCATION: SHANGHAI, China CATEGORY: ECONOMY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the demonstration flights STORYLINE: An ARJ21 regional aircraft and C919 passenger aircraft completed their first demonstration flights with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Shanghai and Dongying, respectively, on Wednesday, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC). The demonstration flights showed the sound flight performance of the Chinese commercial aircraft, the COMAC said. SAF is an alternative made from renewable materials. Compared to conventional jet fuel, it can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 percent over the fuel's life cycle. Using SAF is an important way for the global civil aviation industry to address global warming and reduce carbon emissions. A number of Chinese airlines have conducted commercial test flights using China-made
