The vehicle, a supersonic airplane called XB-1, flew from the Mojave Air & Space Port in California, reaching an altitude of 7,120 feet (2.2 km) and a maximum speed of 273 mph (439 km\/h). In a press release, <\/a><\/strong>Boom Supersonic stated that the initial test flight of the XB-1 aircraft met all of its objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The experience we have gained in achieving this milestone will be invaluable for the renaissance of supersonic travel at Boom,” said Bill “Doc” Shoemaker, Chief Test Pilot at Boom Supersonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
