Boom Flyby Supersonic Progress This year at the paris air show, boom supersonic announced significant program advances. these announcements mark major progress made to date on the overture, symphony, and xb 1 programs. Boom supersonic (denver, colo., u.s.) has been steadily progressing the xb 1 — the company’s composites intensive demonstrator jet, nicknamed baby boom — over the course of october 2024. this includes two additional flights and setting its new speed record to break the sound barrier.
Boom Flyby Supersonic Progress Boom supersonic is taking significant steps toward bringing commercial supersonic travel back to the skies. the company’s xb 1 demonstrator aircraft recently completed its eighth flight,. A milestone effort for mankind: today a civil test airliner, boom technology’s xb 1, broke the sound barrier for the first time in two decades. Boom is targeting the end of the year to complete xb 1’s historic march toward the first independently developed supersonic plane. with ongoing progress and support from our partners, boom is closer than ever to reintroducing supersonic travel to the skies. Xb 1 reached 17,800 feet during the 50 minute flight. the xb 1 program will prove out technologies for boom’s ambitions to build a 64 to 80 seat supersonic airliner that flies at mach 1.7.

More than two decades after the retirement of the concorde, american aircraft company boom supersonic has achieved supersonic flight with its xb 1 prototype in a test flight above the mojave. The successful first supersonic flight of boom’s demonstrator aircraft, xb 1, took place on january 28 2025 at the mojave air & space port in california. boom designed, built, and flew the world’s first independently developed supersonic jet—the first civil supersonic jet made in america. “xb 1’s supersonic flight demonstrates that the technology for passenger supersonic flight has arrived. a small band of talented and dedicated engineers has accomplished what previously took governments and billions of dollars. The demonstrator aircraft is nearing supersonic flight before the end of 2024. the latest flight confirmed safe operation at mach 0.8 with the stability augmentation system off and expanded the altitude envelope to more than 25,000 feet.
