If you've been keeping tabs on aviation news as of late, you saw that Boom Supersonic just recently broke the sound barrier with its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft. Oddly enough, no one on the ground heard a thing during its "boomless" cruise.

Boom Supersonic passed a major milestone last month when its XB-1 prototype became the first civil aircraft to break the sound barrier over the continental US. Less than a month later, Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg has once again surpassed Mach 1 in the experimental plane while flying as high as 36,

When the experimental XB-1 aircraft achieved supersonic speeds on a test flight, it did not create a disruptive sonic boom – thanks to a physics phenomenon called the Mach cutoff

During the second supersonic flight of the XB-1 technology demonstrator today, the jet exceeded Mach 1 three times without a boom being detected by microphones on the desert floor below.

Hot on the heels of its milestone supersonic flight with its demonstrator aircraft, XB-1, Boom Supersonic has another surprise up its sleeve. During the demonstration flight on January 28, 2025, the XB-1 broke the sound barrier three times,

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 is gearing up for another flight. The flight is set to take place around 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 10. It will be the 13th and final flight for the aircraft.

Boom Supersonic says its XB-1 aircraft achieved supersonic flight without an audible sonic boom on the ground below. CEO Blake Scholl hopes supersonic passenger flight will eventually be allowed in the U.
