In a historic first for American aviation, Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator aircraft flew beyond the sound barrier at Mach 1.1 at the Mojave Air & Space Port (KMHV) in California. XB-1 is the first civilian supersonic jet independently designed, developed, and built in America. Boom Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg entered the historic and recently renamed Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor at 8:22 a.m. local time on January 28, 2025, at an altitude of 35,290 feet MSL and accelerated to Mach 1.122.

Aero Linx: International Scientific and Technical Soaring Organisation The new constitution of OSTIV concentrated merely to the objectives ‚to encourage and coordinate internationally the science and technology of soaring and the development and use of the sailplane in pure and applied research‘. After years of discussion OSTIV finally found its place as an International Associate Member of FAI (Resolution of the FAI General Conference at Rome, 4 October 1977); each party having the right of representation - with voting right - in the General Conferences of the other party. Furthermore, OSTIV has the right to delegate observers to the meetings of the International Gliding Commission

Navigation Reference System (NRS) The NRS is a system of waypoints developed for use within the United States for flight planning and navigation without reference to ground based navigational aids. The NRS waypoints are located in a grid pattern along defined latitude and longitude lines. The initial use of the NRS will be in the high altitude environment. The NRS waypoints are intended for use by aircraft capable of point-to-point navigation. 

"This marks a significant step in bringing closure to the impacted families and community… While all victims have been identified, salvage operations will continue with a strict commitment to the dignified recovery of any additional remains... Our hearts are with the victims’ families as they navigate this tragic loss.
