Boom Supersonic's latest flight test demonstrated the controllability of its XB-1 aircraft at higher speeds without its stability augmentation system, crucial for advancing supersonic travel.
CEO Blake Scholl announced that Boom Supersonic is on track to achieve Mach 1 flight by the end of the year, bringing commercial supersonic flights closer to reality.
With 130 orders from major airlines, including United and American, the Overture could revolutionize air travel by reducing NYC to London flight time to just 3.5 hours.
Although slightly slower than Concorde, the Overture's planned cruising speed of Mach 1.7 represents a significant leap in commercial aviation since Concorde's retirement in 2003.
