Boom Supersonic's XB-1 is approaching the speed of sound with its 11th test flight.

The 44-minute test flight by Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, reached Mach 0.95 .

The test flight focused on dynamic pressure to ensure that the Boom XBS could handle the stresses of supersonic flight.

There is little data on using composite materials for a supersic airliner.

The processes and materials used will be used to develop Overture, which is Boom’s future jetliner.
