Son of Concorde Sets New Speed Record

[quintessentone]

A bit misleading but what do you expect from journalists. It’s a new record for XB-1, which is slowly increasing towards mach 1. They’re hoping to get one more flight this year to hit 0.9 with supersonic flight early next year.

How are we misled by the reporting when they specifically said it is a new record for this particular aircraft?

Is it the name 'Son of Concorde'? Who named or nicknamed it that and why?

Is the son of concorde not an XB-1? If it is, then they are claiming that this aircraft did indeed set a new record.

Perhaps you can explain why you think the reporting is misleading, because I don't get where they are misleading anyone. Except maybe that this aircraft has absolutely no traits, parts or design related to the concorde. (?)
