On a recent test flight at 35,000 feet over the Mojave Desert, Boom Supersonic's XB-1 made history by becoming the first privately funded aircraft to exceed the speed of sound, achieving Mach 1.1. Chief Test Pilot Tristan Brandenburg celebrated the successful flight, noting it was the best performance the aircraft had demonstrated. This milestone is part of Boom's broader ambition to create a commercial supersonic airliner, the Overture, with substantial orders from major airlines. The company is ramping up production capabilities at its new Superfactory focused on building these advanced aircraft.
She was real happy supersonic, that's the best she's ever flown, was supersonic."
