Track; not yet
- Why
- XB-1's Jan 2025 flights are a real, independently-observable technology validation (Mach cutoff physics demonstrated with ground microphones) and have already moved a 53-year FAA ban, but the commercial product (Overture) has zero flight hours, an uncertified engine, and a CEO-stated 2029 target that independent analysts call highly speculative -- premature to treat as adopted/mature technology.
- Next
- Revisit at Symphony full-core-engine test completion (targeted Q3/late 2026), first Overture airframe rollout, or FAA final supersonic overland rule (targeted mid-2027) -- whichever lands first.
