Thank heavens it’s not a Boeing airplane.

One pilot? If this is the prototype of the airliner design, there should be a co-pilot. Such redundancy should be done, just in case.

Looks like a fighter jet.
And looks like a passenger jet, for one passenger, who would also happen to be the pilot.

Super cool. Not sure how viable a super sonic airliner is in today's marketplace. At least it doesn't appear to be government funded.

Looks like a long way from an airliner...long road to hoe from first flight to commercial flight...but best wishes..

The inaugural flight of XB-1 takes place as Overture continues to advance toward production, with a growing global network of Tier 1 suppliers and an order book including 130 orders and pre-orders from American Airlines, United Airlines, and Japan Airlines.
verture will carry 64-80 passengers at Mach 1.7, about twice the speed of today’s subsonic airliners. Optimized for speed, safety, and sustainability, Overture is designed to run on up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

THREE air inlets for one engine?
I suppose there's a reason...

XB-1 leverages state-of-the-art technologies to enable efficient supersonic flight including carbon fiber compositesHopefully these materials will handle flight better than submersion.

I saw "XB-1" and thought:
