During the 54-minute flight, Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg safely navigated the XB-1 to a maximum altitude of 25,040 feet (7,632 meters) and a speed of Mach 0.82 (487 knots true airspeed), demonstrating that the aircraft remains controllable at higher speeds even in the event of SAS failure.

The 12 th test flight of the XB-1 took off from the Mojave Air & Space Port in California at 11: 21 am EST, climbed to 34,000 feet, and recorded true airspeed exceeding Mach1.0 The XB-1 is a concept prototype, designed and built to pave the way for Booms Overture supersonic airliner. just 10 minutes after leaving the ground.

After the military, he joined Hughes Airwest as an airline pilot and settled down with his wife and baby in Boulder City. The airline merged with Republic, then Northwest, and finally Delta. Flutter is a dangerous, complex, dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon dependent on true airspeed. The pilot learned to fly in the U.S.

True Airspeed vs Indicated Airspeed VS Equivalent Airspeed Since airspeed indicators use air pressure to measure speed, the indicated airspeed can be less than the actual airspeed at higher altitudes. True airspeed (TAS) is the difference between the indicated airspeed and actual speed.

Somerset instructor Karl Bearnarth, who “moonlights” as an airline pilot, drew the short straw. Gus had scribbled down a list of mostly minor squawks, but he was thrilled with the true airspeed readouts he saw on the hour-plus hop to SMQ. He’s perfect for my needs.

As there is so much traffic, the NAT-OTS has been established in order to offer optimum tracks for most traffic, which means passenger airline traffic. With jet cruise true airspeeds between 400 and 500 kts, this has a big effect on ground speed, and therefore on cruise performance and efficiency.
