In November 2016, US-based start-up company, Boom Supersonic, unveiled its XB-1 'Baby Boom' - a one-third scale demonstrator, designed to aid development of the firm's Overture supersonic airliner concept. Currently in production, the XB-1 will demonstrate key technologies to further ensure safe, efficient and sustainable commercial supersonic air travel.
