Boom Supersonic partners with The DiSTI Corporation to use GL Studio safety-critical software to develop the avionics in history’s first independently-developed supersonic jet.
Boom Supersonic has selected DiSTI Corporation’s GL Studioas the Human Machine Interface (HMI) software development tool of choice forits supersonic demonstrator program. The company is using GL Studio to developthe embedded avionics in its supersonic demonstrator XB-1, as well as theprototyping, training simulator, and ground telemetry control room for theaircraft.
“XB-1’s high pitch attitude at landing means that the pilothas to rely solely on the multifunction display with an integrated camera tosee the runway,” said Jeff Mabry, Chief Flight Test Engineer at BoomSupersonic.
XB-1 is the demonstrator airplane for Overture and acritical step toward mainstream supersonic travel. XB-1 will prove keytechnologies for safe, efficient, and sustainable supersonic travel. Developedwith GL Studio HMI software tools, XB-1 will be equipped with a primary displayproviding the pilot with all critical information in a single screen. Thisincludes a forward-looking visual system to give pilots maximum visibility fromthe cockpit in addition to the primary flight displays, system synoptic, andengine information visualization.
