"Boom Supersonic XB-1 smashes the sound barrier, becoming the 1st civil aircraft to go supersonic in US history" by @LiveScience - Actually #BoomXB1 is the first jet-powered civil aircraft to go supersonic. SpaceShipOne also launched from Mojave #KMHV, flew supersonic on its December 17, 2003 atmospheric test flight (100th anniversary of Wright Brothers' 1st powered flight). SS1 later flew supersonic again on 3 suborbital space flights in 2004. https://www.livescience.com/technology/engineering/boom-supersonic-xb-1-smashes-the-sound-barrier-becoming-the-1st-civil-aircraft-to-go-supersonic-in-us-history #aviation #business #avgeek
