XB-1

The XB-1, developed by Boom Supersonic, is a prototype supersonic passenger aircraft designed to travel faster than the speed of sound, aiming to make long-distance flights quicker. It represents a significant step towards the revival of commercial supersonic travel since the Concorde. The XB-1 is smaller and focuses on testing new technologies that could improve safety, efficiency, and noise reduction. Its successful flights could pave the way for a future fleet of larger supersonic jets that carry passengers across the globe in a fraction of the time it currently takes.
