Boom Supersonic is getting closer to living up to its name and went higher and
faster on its seventh test flight on Nov. 5. The prototype got to Mach .82 (499
knots) and 23,000 feet and company officials are talking about going supersonic
in the next few flights. "XB-1, Boom's supersonic demonstrator aircraft,
continues to progress toward Mach 1," the company said in a statement. Test pilot Tristan
"Geppetto" Brandenburg was at the controls for the flight.
The
prototype is the forerunner of an eventual supersonic airliner called Overture
the company hopes to have operational in the next decade. "Flight seven
focused on flutter envelope expansion and cockpit pressure testing in order to
ensure safe performance and handling qualities as XB-1 approaches supersonic
speeds and higher altitudes," the company statement said.
