Boom receives experimental airworthiness certificate from FAA for XB-1

Boom Supersonic recently received an experimental airworthiness certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), following a detailed aircraft inspection of its XB-1, technology demonstrator aircraft paving way for flight testing at Mojave Air and Space Port, California. Earlier this year, XB-1 was moved from the company’s hangar in Centennial, Colorado to the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California to continue preparations for flight. The aircraft has undergone extensive ground testing since arriving, including taxi testing this week. “The recent progress made towards XB-1’s first flight reflects the team’s collective efforts to build and safely fly the world’s first independently developed supersonic jet,”
