How do you make a high precision jet engine airfoil? Here’s an animation of what we’ll soon be doing on our CNC machines at the Symphony Superfactory.

XB-1 is airborne now. Kids got to listen to takeoff on the radio and acceleration to 0.7 Mach before school drop off. #ProudPapa. Also what do you think of this new takeoff angle?

And Geppetto is in the seat. Almost ready to send it one more time!

Symphony has achieved 🔥 in our first combustion test! We’re continuing to test the rest of October to downselect the final fuel nozzle design.

... and she's back home.

XB-1 Flight Seven ✅ Today's @boomaero XB-1 test flight went great—new top Mach of 0.8, free of the avionics glitching we saw on previous flight. Looking forward to getting back in the air hopefully one more time before Thanksgiving.

When you nail thrust to weight ratio, you can get off the pad properly.

As we enter the build phase for our first engine, Boom is moving to video updates for our investors. Here is our most recent investor update (financial info redacted). Hint: there is an Easter egg 🥚

Three years ago, Symphony was an idea for an idea. Two years ago, Symphony was an idea. So cool to watch concept turn into hardware.

Sunrise in the Mojave desert

Today marks a big milestone toward the rebirth of supersonic passenger flight. For the first time in decades, a civil supersonic airplane has taken to the skies. The XB-1 met all of its first flight objectives—and we’re only going further, higher, and faster from here.

Our motto at Boom is: This is Hard. This is Fun. Supersonic jets and power turbines are the hard. This is the fun part.

XB-1 Flight Two was a massive success: gear extended/retracted airborne for the first time, stability issues from Flight One confirmed resolved. No major issues uncovered. Geppetto did a great job at the controls—and we're accelerating Flight Three—likely in a month or so.

It would be so much fun if someone made a small personal supersonic jet.

XB-1 Flight Four ✅ Very successful flight this morning. Airplane performed great, with a new top speed of Mach 0.6 and 2.5G maneuvers. Only lowlight: FES didn’t cooperate for M0.6 test point. So we’re pulling it out and shipping to vendor. Maybe back in the air in 3-4 weeks.

Wait for it... (and watch volume up!!!)

Yesterday, XB-1 set a new top ground speed of 123kts (141mph)… the third high-speed taxi in 48 hours. These tests are now starting to look more like flight, with a T-38 chase aircraft airborne! 1/

XB-1 Flight Two completed just a few minutes ago—aircraft back on the ground safely after a great flight. More video to come later today. Boom creative team is editing furiously as we speak.

The “boring” part of making engines with supersonic power: cutting holes in cast nickel alloy parts…

🛬 Telluride for lunch

So 🔥 to peek inside a jet engine combustor. This is like an afterburner, but it’s not after. Symphony team just confirmed our combustion system works well even in the most challenging corner cases.

"The most effective way to do it, is to do it." - Amelia Earhart And the most fun way to build a supersonic jet engine is in public. Watch volume up and with popcorn. This engine is headed from concept to hardware.

Converting jet fuel into human progress 💪 🇺🇸

Flight Five is in the books! XB-1 back on the ground safely. Today's top speed was Mach 0.7!
