One year ago, we picked up where history left off. Today, we’re building the future. On January 28, 2024, XB-1 proved that supersonic flight was no longer a dormant chapter of aviation. But for our team, that milestone wasn't the finish line – it was the launchpad. We are moving at a pace the industry hasn't seen in 50 years. From the flight line to the engineering lab, this is what it looks like to drive progress every single day. We’re hiring the team building the supersonic renaissance. If yo

On January 25, 2000, the unthinkable happened. Concorde - an icon of innovation and supersonic travel - crashed shortly after takeoff, marking the only fatal accident in its history. What Went Wrong: The Concorde Air Crash - carefully examines the technical failures, human decisions, and lessons that reshaped aviation safety. What do you think this tragedy changed most about modern air travel? 🎬 Watch now on CuriosityStream. . . . . #Concorde #AviationHistory #OnThisDay #AviationSafety #WhatWen

Get an in-depth look at XB-1 Flight 7 with Chief Flight Test Engineer Nick Sheryka—and experience Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg’s view from the cockpit. Nick explains Flutter Excitation Tests (FES), a series of tests that vibrate the entire airplane, as well as cockpit pressurization tests. These tests ensure that XB-1 can safely ascend to 30,000 feet, the altitude it will fly at supersonic speeds. The flight path during Flight 7 took XB-1 over Naval Air Weapons Station China L
