The Boom XB-1 "Baby Boom" is a decommissioned three-engine supersonic demonstrator designed by Boom Technology as part of the development of the Boom Overture supersonic transport aircraft. Powered by three General Electric J85 engines, it was originally designed for a speed of Mach 2.2 and a range of over 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km); however, the demonstrator was only tested to Mach 1.1, and no long-range flights were conducted. The XB-1 began taxiing tests in December 2022[3] and made its maiden flight on March 22, 2024. The aircraft performed its first supersonic flight on January 28, 2025, becoming the first privately developed jet aircraft to achieve this feat. It completed a second supersonic flight on February 10, 2025, after which the XB-1 was retired from service.
