    3, 2, 1… Boom The countdown is on. XB-1 will break the sound barrier on its next test flight. We’re targeting no earlier than Jan. 28, 2025, at 6:45am PST/9:45am EST/2:45pm GMT for our most ambitious flight yet. Check the countdown clock and watch the @starlink livestream on boomsupersonic.com/xb-1. Flight date & time may change for mission safety or weather considerations. XB-1, the world’s first independently developed supersonic jet, will break the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor and the Black Mountain Supersonic Corridor in Mojave, CA. Following 11 test flights and 22 months of rigorous testing, Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg will bring XB-1 to a comfortable cruising speed of Mach 1.1 at 34,000 ft. The flight is estimated to last 30-45 minutes. Things are about to get really, really fast.
