Carbon fiber composites for the supersonic airliner

Boom Supersonic, the aerospace company building the world’s fastest airliner, announced that its supersonic demonstrator will roll out on October 7, 2020

Boom Supersonic, the aerospace company building the world’s fastest airliner (about 3 hours from London to New York) announced that its supersonic demonstrator, XB-1, will roll out on October 7, 2020.

In keeping with CDC-recommended social distancing measures, the entire event will be available online and allow attendees an opportunity to submit questions to company leadership.

XB-1 is the world’s first independently developed supersonic jet and will demonstrate key technologies for Overture, Boom’s commercial airliner, such as advanced carbon fiber composite construction, computer-optimized high-efficiency aerodynamics, and an efficient supersonic propulsion system. XB-1 is the end product of years
of development effort, including multiple wind tunnel tests, dozens of structural tests, hundreds of simulation iterations, and tens of thousands of work hours.

To design and build XB-1, Boom has recruited a team of experts from around the industry, established supplier relationships, and built a strong safety culture. XB-1 is the first aircraft program to announce a 100% carbon-neutral flight test program.
