XB-1 Prepares for Flight Two

Since XB-1 successfully completed its first flight, the team has continued to test and confirm the aircraft's performance and handling qualities in final preparations for second flight. This week, XB-1 performed aircraft checkouts, including a 60 knot taxi test, multiple flight control sweeps, and operation of all three engines within their entire range. Following first flight, optimizations made to the aircraft include a modified flight control system.

As much as we appreciate your ambition, for something more trivial, we’d appreciate at least a little more longer-form content. Short-form content may garner interest, but those interested in your work want to learn more about you, something that would benefit you.

I work at Greensboro airport as soon as I see one of these planes landing or taking off I'll let everybody know.

[bleekyb]

YES! real, non trailer like, footage. Thank you! So much better

I can’t wait to see Overture fly! Stay strong

boom supersonic trying as hard as they can to make a video longer than 30 secs:

I will say that the final hanger, which includes the office space, is pretty much finished, and is expected to be opened by the end of the year. There are two hangers beside the final assembly hanger that are still under construction. There is a lot of land on the other side of the highway that has been cleared off but I don't know if Boom is building there. Remember if you so much as dig a hole in the ground on airport property, the airport owns it. Considering they built three hangers so far, they are committed.

Progression is faster than ever and the horizon to see the Overture in 2026 brighter than ever.

[knoxx]

This only but a taste of what was promised decades now finally coming to reality. At last

[DCiscool]

Come on dawg yall making the next concorde

[pilot]

I've understood, the issue with the full scale ship is... Nobody wants to build a limited production, specialized engine for it.

[AvvrYT]

I made a edit about y’all on my channel, it’s decent, i beleive that u can bring super sonic back

[Wagyu]

Well come on, let it take off at least. It is nice to see it go down a runway, but show us something that is actually completed and working.

People In The Future Will Boom Supersonic Become Successful?

[ШломоЭлспас]

I’d rather you publish a video with something a bit more substantial next time

Compro 5.000 unidades para a força aérea brasileira

I can’t help feeling that the name Boom would be more appropriate on a Boeing aircraft.

[MoralAbsolutist]

Hey Boom, hire me. I'll make sure all these comments are praising your innovative excellence and actually getting clicks, shares and replays from enthusiasm and awe. Right now, these commenters are correct. This video doesn't cause goosebumps or get the blood flowing like a Top Gun movie.
