XB-1 Flight 7: Play-By-Play From the Cockpit

XB-1 Chief Flight Test Engineer Nick Sheryka offers a detailed play-by-play of XB-1 Flight 7. See Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg’s view of the Mojave Desert and watch the instrument panel. Hear communications with air traffic control and the XB-1 flight test team as Nick breaks down every aspect of the flight. Learn how Flutter Excitation Tests (FES) work and why we vibrate the entire airplane during flight test. Plus, get a running commentary of cockpit pressurization tests, which ensure that XB-1 can safely ascend to 30,000 feet, the altitude it will fly at supersonic speeds. The flight path during Flight 7 took XB-1 over Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, which spans 1.1 million acres. It’s located adjacent to Edwards Air Force Base, approx. 150 miles north of Los Angeles.
