Pioneers of Aviationón
The maiden flight of the XB-1 took placeó from the emblemático port Mojave Air & Space, a place known as the home of many «first flights» in the history of aviationón and the aerospace industry. From the first flight that I brokeó the sound barrier in 1947 until the establishment of numerous réspeed and altitude cords, this regionóThe Mojave Desert has been the testing ground for the industry. Choosing this location for the XB-1 takeoff, Boom pays tribute to the pioneers who paved the way for super travelóunique and underlines its own commitment to revitalizing this technologyífor the future.
