THE ‘Son of Concorde’ XB-1 jet is set to take off on its inaugural supersonic flight next week, where it will break the sound barrier for the first time.

It is thought to be the first US-built commercial supersonic jet to exist, according to the company behind the jet.

Bosses at Colorado-based Boom Technology have announced that the aircraft will hit supersonic speeds during a livestream on 28 January at 6:45am PST/ 9:45am EST/ 2:45pm GMT.

However, as with every test flight or launch, the date and time is weather dependent.

The XB-1 will be followed by a chase plane, the T-38, so viewers can watch the moment the XB-1 reaches Mach 1 – which is about 767mph.

During its previous two test flights, the aircraft has been able to reach Mach 0.95 – what’s known as “transonic” speeds.

Mach 1 and above is when a jet can be classed as supersonic.

Chief test pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, who has headed XB-1’s previous test flights, will be the man inside the cockpit when the next-generation aircraft breaks the sound barrier.

The aircraft has so far been authorised to fly in two airspaces: the Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor and the Black Mountain Supersonic Corridor near Edwards Air Force Base in Mojave, California. 

It’s the same airspace where Chuck Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound in 1947, in his Bell X-1 plane.

On the ground, Boom’s chief test flight engineer, Nick Sheryka, and advisor Greg Krauland, will be joined by former chief Concorde pilot at British Airways, Mike Bannister.

“Even people who have flown supersonic hundreds of times never stop getting excited about it,” said Bannister, who has clocked nearly 7,000 supersonic hours in the Concorde.

In the air, the XB-1 is expected to maintain supersonic speeds for roughly four minutes, test pilot Brandenburg revealed last week.

Although, he added, the flight will last between 30 and 45 minutes in total.

Civilians on the ground will also be spared the deafening sound of its sonic boom, the company has claimed.

Preparing for supersonic speeds

Few humans have travelled at such speeds – though companies like Boom are trying to change that.

Before each flight, Brandenburg practices several times in the XB-1 simulator.

“It also gives me our best prediction of how we expect the aircraft to behave in each new condition,” he said in a recent post on Boom’s website.

Then there are several emergency scenarios that Brandenburg has to run through – such as if the engine fails.

“Finally, we run the profile at least twice with the entire control room: once with the flight going as expected and once with some sort of failure or emergency,” he said.

The actual acceleration from subsonic to supersonic will be fairly gradual. 

“A common misconception is that the pilot feels extreme G-forces at supersonic speeds,” said Brandenburg. “This is not true.”

Once the aircraft is at a steady airspeed, Brandenburg will only feel the force of gravity and the slight pull of acceleration.

That goes for future passengers too.

HOCKEY fans in Toronto witnessed what is being called the “fight of the year.”

Toronto Maple Leafs star Ryan Reaves traded blows with Columbus Blue Jackets rival Mathieu Olivier.

Reaves, 38, is known for being involved in fights during hockey games.

Olivier, 27, also has a reputation for not shying away.

And it took less than two minutes of the game at Scotiabank Arena for them to be dragged into a brawl.

The heavyweights swung punches at his rival as they went at it for almost a minute.

And the pair were separated by officials after the fight ended in a stalemate.

Fighting is a common part of National Hockey League encounters.

But it has slowly become less frequent in recent years.

Toronto captain Auston Matthews was disappointed with the response from the crowd.

He said, “Would’ve liked a little more energy from the crowd after that.

“It was a little quiet tonight, especially after two guys like that go at it.

“But it was a great moment for him. I thought gave us some energy on the bench.”

Columbus took advantage of the subdued atmosphere to score a huge 5-1 road win.

Adam Fantilli, who grew up a 40-minute drive from Toronto, scored his first NHL hat trick.

He said he had around 70 friends and family in attendance and footed a large bill for their tickets.

“A lot of [my money] is gone now, so I’m just happy with the win,” Fantilli laughed.

“It means the world to be able to do that in front of my friends and family, everybody made the trip out.

“I’m super grateful they all came out and I was able to pull one off there.

“I was really lucky, they had some great seats so I was able to make eye contact with a few of them after the first and second period.

“So it was pretty special to be able see their faces.”

Toronto is top of the Atlantic Division in the NHL’s Eastern Conference.

Columbus, meanwhile, sit fourth in the Metropolitan Division.
