Overture is being engineered to go twice as fast, fly overland quietly, and deliver the kind of experience today’s travelers expect. Every flight path. Every window. Every system. Purpose-built for a world that moves faster than ever—and deserves an aircraft that can keep up. #SupersonicIsComing

3.22.24. XB-1 takes flight. Today, Boom’s supersonic demonstrator aircraft, XB-1 safely and successfully executed its first flight at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, CA., flown by XB-1 Chief Test Pilot Bill “Doc” Shoemaker. Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg flew the T-38 chase aircraft which monitored XB-1 in the air. Two decades after Concorde’s retirement, the first flight of XB-1 marks the return of a civil supersonic aircraft to the skies and paves the way for the revival of mainstream supersonic travel onboard Overture, Boom’s sustainable supersonic airliner.
