Boom Technology's Supersonic Jet With 1,700mph Top Speed Ready For Test Flight
A new supersonic jet prototype, Concorde's purported successor XB-1 prototype, will be unveiled to the public on October 7, said a report published in express.co.uk. The industry insiders reportedly believe that cutting-edge tech could pave the way for a return to ultra-fast supersonic air travel.
The jet's designers Boom Technology have announced that the XB-1 prototype will undergo testing in the coming months and if successful, it will pave the way for the Boom Overture – a proposed passenger jet with 55 seats, said the report.
Denver-based Boom Technology, which has so far raised $141m (£107m) to build the XB-1, has already attached the craft’s wings to its fuselage, built its vertical stabiliser and completed landing gear tests, according to Flight Global reports.
