A sub-scale prototype of a futuristic supersonic passenger airliner has been revealed for the first time.
Created by aerospace company Boom and backed by Virgin tycoon Richard Branson, the ‘Baby Boom’ jet could usher in a new era of affordable supersonic travel.
Claimed to be the ‘world’s fastest civil aircraft ever made’, the XB-1 Supersonic Demonstrator is due to take off on its first test flight in late 2017 and could take passengers from London to New York in 3.5 hours.
