The Boom XB-1 successfully completed its fourth flight on September 21, 2024, at the Mojave Air & Space Port in California.
It lasted 48 minutes and reached a top speed of Mach 0.617, along with a maximum altitude of 16,150 feet. This achievement came just eight days after the aircraft’s third flight. The Chennault International Airshow Board of Directors announced on September 18 that they have decided to cancel the next event, scheduled for October 24-26, 2025. They cited the cause as contract debates with the venue. "It comes with great regret that we announce the Chennault International Airshow scheduled for October 24-26, 2025 has been canceled,” they posted on social media. Following up on our recent report, the trend of private companies monitoring landings using open-source data and optical capture seems to be on an uncontrolled rise. Scheduled flights? Check. Impromptu hops? Check. No transponder? No problem. They’re poised to track your every move -- because who wouldn’t want to pay an extra fee just to stop flying? All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
