Boom Supersonic sans the sonic boom: The XB-1's quiet Mach 1 flight
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.
How Boom’s XB-1 cracked the code for silent supersonic flight
American firm Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 has once again reached supersonic speeds without producing an audible boom, following its milestone flight on January 28 this year. The aircraft is the first piloted non-military plane to break the sound barrier since Concorde’s retirement in 2003.
Boom hopes its breakthrough will allow supersonic flights over land, making US coast-to-coast flights 90 minutes faster.
