The Boom XB-1 "Baby Boom" is a retired one-third-scale trijet supersonic demonstrator designed by Boom Technology as part of the development of the Boom Overture supersonic transport airliner.

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.

2025年1月28日 · Some 11.5 minutes into the flight — the 12th overall for the XB-1 — at an altitude of around 35,000 feet (10,668 meters), the test plane exceeded Mach 1, the speed of sound, marking the first...

2025年1月28日 · Boom Supersonic's XB-1 made history on Tuesday by becoming the first civil aircraft to break the sound barrier. Why It Matters

2025年1月28日 · Hitting the Mach 1 milestone is an important development and makes Boom Aerospace the first private company to fly a supersonic civil jet. Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator has broken the sound barrier, marking a major milestone in the effort that hopes to lead to a larger 55-seat supersonic airliner design known as Overture.

2025年1月28日 · Boom Supersonic's XB-1 demonstrator jet became the first U.S.-made civilian supersonic jet to break the sound barrier. The independently funded XB-1 reached a speed of …

2025年1月29日 · The XB-1 jet entered the supersonic corridor and reached an altitude of 35,290 feet before accelerating to Mach 1.122 (652 KTAS or 750mph). This is a historic achievement as it marks the first time an independently developed jet has broken the sound barrier.

2025年2月11日 · The XB-1 jet broke the sound barrier three times during its test flight. No boom was heard from the ground.

2025年1月28日 · Boom, the startup developing a new generation of supersonic aircraft, has achieved a major milestone after its test plane broke the sound barrier for the first time. The …

2025年1月29日 · The US civilian aviation sector has achieved what Concorde managed half a century ago – piloted supersonic flight in a domestically built jet. More than 20 years since the supersonic airliner last flew, Boom Supersonic took its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft to Mach 1.122 in the same airspace where US pilot Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier ...

2025年1月28日 · The XB-1 jet reached Mach 1.1, about 844mph, three times during its latest test flight. Such speeds could cut the journey from San Diego to Los Angeles to just 10 minutes, according to former chief Concorde pilot at British Airways, Mike Bannister, who was on the ground to witness the inaugural supersonic flight.

2025年2月10日 · Hot on the heels of its milestone supersonic flight with its demonstrator aircraft, XB-1, Boom Supersonic has another surprise up its sleeve. During the demonstration flight on January 28, 2025, the XB-1 broke the sound barrier three times, but not one of those occasions caused an audible sonic boom.

2020年10月27日 · XB-1’s one-seat cockpit, built around the pilot’s line of vision, supports visibility during takeoff and landing. A forward vision system, installed in the nose landing gear, adds a second live view of the runway during landing.

2025年2月13日 · Two weeks ago, Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator plane made history when it broke the sound barrier over the continental United States, reaching 750 miles per hour (Mach 1.12) near Barstow, California.

The Boom XB-1 supersonic jet has a delta wing configuration, including airfoil, soft camber, and swept trailing edge, which reduces supersonic induced resistance and helps calm the sonic leds. More than 1,000 wind tunnel simulation tests have been performed on board.
