The XB-1 Baby Boom is 68 feet (21 m) long with a 17 ft (5.2 m) wingspan and a 13,500-pound (6,100 kg) maximum take-off weight. Powered by three J85-15 engines with variable geometry inlets and exhaust, the prototype should be able to sustain Mach 2.2 with more than 1,000 nmi (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) of range. [ 4 ]
The Boom Overture is a supersonic airliner under development by Boom Technology, designed to cruise at Mach 1.7 or 975 knots (1,806 km/h; 1,122 mph). It will accommodate 64 to 80 passengers, depending on the configuration, and have a range of 4,250 nautical miles (7,870 km; 4,890 mi). Boom Technology aims to introduce the Overture in 2029. [2]
According to Boom, a jet must reach around 770 mph at sea level to break the sound barrier. The XB-1 serves as the design foundation for Boom’s future jet, a concept model called Overture.
The Boom XB-1 "Baby Boom" is a one-third-scale supersonic demonstrator, designed to maintain Mach 2.2, with over 1,000 nautical miles [nmi] (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) of range, and powered by three General Electric J85-15 engines with 4,300 pounds-force [lbf] (19 kN) of thrust. [14]

The X-54A was reported as being developed by Gulfstream Aerospace and is intended to be powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay turbofan engines. [1] The X-54A may be connected to Gulfstream's "Sonic Whisper" program, trademarked in 2005 as an aircraft design to "reduce boom intensities during supersonic flight"; [9] besides Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin and Boeing have also produced viable designs for ...
