Tulsa – Advent Aircraft Systems announced it will supply its Advent eABS™ for Power Brake Systems to Boom Supersonic for XB-1, its Mach-2.2 demonstrator aircraft.
The Advent eABS for Power Brake Systems incorporates Advent’s flagship anti-skid braking system technology and will help optimize the braking action of XB-1, while enhancing safety and reducing the risk of tire damage.
XB-1 will validate key technologies for safe, efficient travel at Mach-2.2. Data collected from its test flights will refine the design and engineering of Overture, Boom’s supersonic commercial airliner.
“It was critical to find an anti-skid control system for XB-1 that met our technical requirements in a responsive, timely and competitive manner, and Advent’s eABS system exceeded our expectations,” said Nick Sheryka, Chief Engineer at Boom Supersonic. “We’re getting closer to flight testing XB-1 and it’s exciting to work with partners like Advent to supply crucial parts of the aircraft.”
“Advent is pleased to have been chosen as a supplier to the impressive Boom project,” said Ken Goldsmith, Managing Director at the company. “We look forward to supporting the Boom Supersonic team during the ongoing development and testing of XB-1.”
With a total component weight of five pounds, the eABS for Power Brake Systems is derived from Advent’s proven anti-skid braking system certified by the FAA, EASA, and TCCA with variants in use on commercial and military, manned and unmanned platforms. It consists of anti-skid control valves, a digital electronic control unit, cockpit control switches and specially designed wheel speed transducers and hubcaps.
