XB-1 supersonic plane

November 16, 2016 - Aerospace company Boom has unveiled a prototype of a supersonic passenger jet that aims to be the next generation Concorde. The XB-1 demonstrator, or “Baby Boom”, is a one-third scale version of the full production model intended to be ready by 2020. If successful, Boom’s airliner will fill a gap in the air transport industry that has been unfilled since British Airways retired the final Concorde in 2003.
