The commercial aviation industry is waiting for the tests that were carried out a few days ago. It would be the flight of the new concord, although it is another company: Boom Supersonic, the American company designing the Overture. It would take the place left by the emblematic brand that previously made this type of trip.
This is the first supersonic passenger plane since the withdrawal of the Franco-British concord. He performed flight tests to tune its navigation systems and check its flight efficiency. And this is how the sound barrier broke on the test flight. With this, it shows that for now it is a success and attracts the gaze of the world of aviation.

Breaking the sound
It is the demonstrating plane XB-1. It only has the size of a combat plane. It is equipped with technology and capabilities designed to build a commercial supersonic passenger plane. He took off at 16.30 UTC on January 28 from the Mojave Space Puerto. At 12 minutes of flight and an altitude of 35,000 feet, the aircraft reached a maximum speed of 1.1 mach.
The XB-1 first took off in March 2024. Since then, it made a total of twelve test flights to break the sound barrier. Overture is conceived as a four -engines plane with 1.7 mach of cruise speed. It reaches an 60,000 feet cruise altitude (about 20,000 meters) and has capacity for 64-80 passengers.

Next flights
It is intended to fill the hole that left the concord in commercial aviation. Boom Supersonic says that it already has a reservation of 130 Overture aircraft with different to the áreas. These include Americans American Airlines and United Airlines. And also Japan Airlines, interested in recovering passenger flights in supersonic airplanes.
The company develops the Symphony engine, an optimized turboreactor for the supersonic flight. The flight of the new concorde is getting closer. Would you like to climb this supersonic plane?
