“Today, XB-1 took flight in the same hallowed airspace where the Bell X-1 first broke the sound barrier in 1947. I’ve been looking forward to this flight since founding Boom in 2014, and it marks the most significant milestone yet on our path to bring supersonic travel to passengers worldwide.” Source: Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, commenting as their developmental test aircraft took flight for the first time.
