Boom Technology unveiled its XB-1 supersonic demonstrator in Denver on Tuesday, and said they aim to build the fastest-ever civilian aircraft, with a cruise speed of Mach 2.2. Boom is working with Virgin Galactic’s The Spaceship Company to build and test the XB-1. The demonstrator is “a technically representative 1/3-scale version of the production Boom airliner,” the company said. First flight for the demonstrator is expected late next year, said Blake Scholl, CEO and founder of Boom.
