Boom Supersonic's XB-1 prototype aces 2nd test flight
The flight tested the vehicle's landing gear and roll damper for improved handling.
The flight took place from California's Mojave Air and Space Port and lasted about 15 minutes, seeing the XB-1 reach an altitude of 10,400 feet (3,170 meters) and a speed of 277 mph (446 kph). The flight demonstrated landing gear being retracted and extended for the first time, and a new digital stability augmentation system was tested to improve handling. The XB-1 program is part of the design and development process for Boom's flagship project, Overture, a planned supersonic airliner.
