Boom has confirmed that its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft is ready to exceed Mach One for the first time.
The Boom XB-1 took its maiden flight in March of 2024, climbing up to a maximum altitude of 7,120 feet and speeds up to 238 knots for initial checks. Red Bull Pilot Dario Costa just took his Zivko Edge 540 down Kitzbühel’s infamous Streif ski race course in a barnburner of a flight the world has never seen before. Better yet, he lived to tell the tale. FlightClub.life has introduced a new insurance policy that is specifically designed for aircraft sharing in the United States and will open up new opportunities for both aircraft owners and pilots. Owning a small aircraft is very rewarding but expensive, between maintenance, annual inspections, engine replacements, and hangar fees that add up to keep many pilots away from owning their own plane. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
