(FOX NEWS) – Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 aircraft broke the sound
barrier for the first time ever on Tuesday during a test blight,
ushering in a new era of supersonic flight.
The jet exceeded Mach 1 after taking off from the Mojave Air and
Space Port in California for its highly anticipated 12th test flight.
That marked the first time the XB-1 demonstrator aircraft, soaring
above 34,000 feet, has ever reached the staggering speed.
Boom Supersonic chief test pilot Tristan "Geppetto" Brandonburg
