First turbine is progressing rapidly, probably will be on a test stand in 6-8 weeks, maybe less. Variable guide vanes are moving now.

Boom had a huge Q3 with major engineering and technical milestones toward Superpower. As before, we're sharing publicly a redacted version of our investor update. (Sorry, there are a couple juicy tidbits we can't share just yet.)

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.

Our first engine’s entire rotor is now assembled and balanced—with an overall tolerance less than the width of a human hair. In episode 5 of Build Supersonic we walk through how a turbine engine is assembled and balanced (and re-balanced, in our case).

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Back when “Doc” Shoemaker had fun doing XB-1’s first (baby) taxi test. The audio is gold.

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.
