Abstract

Boom Technology Inc.'s supersonic jet, the XB-1, successfully broke the sound barrier for the first time during a test flight in California's Mojave Desert. The aircraft reached speeds exceeding Mach 1, marking a significant milestone in the company's efforts to revive high-speed passenger flights. Boom's larger commercial Overture model, with 130 orders already placed, aims to carry 80 passengers at a speed of Mach 1.7, following in the footsteps of the iconic Concorde that was retired in 2003.
