Boom Supersonic made its first test flight today. It was a 1/3rd scale model jet and stayed below 300 MPH, which is standard for first flights of new keys with new technology.
From video below I didn’t see it retract landing gear which I assume is a safety thing in case it has a serious issue and must land quickly. Also, aerodynamics would change and they are just happy it flew.
Company says first commercial flights will be 2030 but I expect delays. And they have 130 already ordered.
