Move over Boom Supersonic—China has entered the chat. Say hello to the Cuantianhou which literally means “Sky-Leaping Monkey,” because nothing says speed quite like a primate in turbo mode. Developed by Sichuan Lingkong Tianxing Technology Co., Ltd., this next-gen supersonic aircraft promises to shrink the world in ways your budget […]
The skies are getting a whole lot faster as Boom Supersonic edges closer to making aviation history with its XB-1 demonstrator. This isn’t your average test program—this is a countdown to shattering the sound barrier and revolutionizing passenger travel with the future-ready Overture aircraft. November Milestones: Sharks, Heights, and Supersonic […]
As far as commercial jet goes, the aerospace industry is going through a shake-up phase. There is a couple of companies working to revive supersonic air travel and then there was the KLM and Delft University of Technology’s proposal of a Flying V fuselage jet, the most radical design change […]
It has always been mankind’s dream to shave travel time. Humankind achieved that at some point but the sonic boom created by the Concorde proved too much when it flew over land. That, and safety-related issues – among others – ended supersonic travel.
There is a new development from Boom Technology. The Colorado-based supersonic aircraft maker has taken to Farnborough International Airshow (July 18-22, 2022) to reveal the s0-called “production refined” Boom Supersonic Overture.
A V-shaped aircraft is radical. A regular body aircraft design can be as radical too – if it has 6 wings like the SE200, as pitched by an Alabama-based aerospace startup SE Aeronautics.
While Aerion has shut down, fellow supersonic jet maker Boom Technology is, well, making a lot of progress. Since revealing the plan to make a supersonic jet in 2016, the Colorado-based aerospace company has revealed its first demonstrator, XB-1 and today, it was revealed that United Airlines will be buying […]
Four years after Boom Technology revealed its plan to develop a new supersonic jet, the Colorado-based aviation company introduces its first demonstrator, XB-1. Billed as the first independently developed supersonic aircraft, the XB-1 demonstrates the key technologies that will enable safe, efficient and sustainable supersonic travel.
There have been many developments in supersonic commercial aircraft over the last few years, with the likes of Aerion Supersonic, Boom Technology, Spike Aerospace, and even Charles Bombardier all in the supersonic race.
Airbus may not have a new passenger jet to show off like Boeing has. However, it does have a new aircraft that just entered the service. This newest family member is the Airbus BelugaXL aka the flying whale.
By now, Boeing 737 MAX had pretty much smeared the reputation of Boeing. But we are not here to dig into that. There’s something a little more uplifting coming from the American aircraft maker over the last weekend.
