The supersonic flight of the XB-1 supersonic demonstrator is a significant achievement toward making sustainable supersonic flight a reality, aboard Overture—my #1 choice as the successor to Concorde.

Overture has an advanced augmented reality vision system for takeoff and landing, eliminating the need for the droop nose used on Concorde. Universal Avionics’ head-worn device seamlessly integrates cameras and sensors, using augmented reality to greatly enhance situational awareness and passenger safety.

Jul 24, 2024 · Former Chief Concorde Pilot for British Airways, Mike Bannister, joined Boom at the show and flew in the Overture flight deck simulator. Bannister flew more hours on Concorde than any other pilot, and has now become the first pilot to fly both Concorde and Overture.

Sep 17, 2019 · Concorde’s four Rolls Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojet engines provided the thrust necessary for cruising and landing. However, Concorde required the additional thrust of afterburners during takeoff and to reach supersonic speed (for acceleration and climb from approximately Mach 0.9 to Mach 1.7).

In 2022, he released his memoir, Concorde, where he shares insights from his remarkable flying career, particularly his time piloting the world’s most famous supersonic jet.
