XB-1 2nd flight test.

Featured Replies

Oh, wow, at about 8:40 he talks about how they can break the sound barrier without the sonic boom reaching the ground, which will enable them to get approval for supersonic flight over land.

These test flights are pretty cool, but the real test will be with the full size version using medium-bypass turbine engines.

Yep... no sonic booms hit the ground during the test.

The sonic boom issue was something we were both wondering about.

They should have named the aircraft "Noboom!"

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
