Boom Supersonic sans Sonic boom
Experimental jet achieves supersonic flight, minus the boom
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,

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.

Supersonic passenger flights with no sonic boom felt on the ground? Boom Supersonic thinks so after recent test flight.
A supersonic Boom Supersonic flight across the United States — beginning potentially as early as 2029 — could be at least 90 minutes quicker than current top flight speeds, while

Boom flies supersonic without sonic boom
Boomless Cruise is based on physics known as the Mach cutoff, in which a sonic boom refracts in the atmosphere and never reaches the ground. This was achieved by breaking the sound barrier at a higher altitude, with the exact speeds varying based on the atmospheric conditions.

Boom Promises ‘Boomless’ Supersonic Flights With Debut Airliner
“XB-1 broke the sound barrier three times during its first supersonic flight—without an audible boom. This confirms what we’ve long believed: supersonic travel can be affordable, sustainable, and friendly to those onboard and on the ground. With this success, we’re bringing Boomless Cruise to Overture, unlocking faster travel on even more routes.”

Supersonic Overture beckons as Boom concludes XB-1 flight-test programme
US aerospace firm Boom Supersonic is expecting to reach design freeze on the Overture supersonic passenger aircraft in about a week, as flight-testing of its experimental XB-1 jet concludes. The XB-1 departed on its 13th and final flight on 10 February,
Boom Supersonic now says Overture can avoid sonic booms, potentially opening up overland flights even at Mach 1 or higher.
The scaled-down prototype, nicknamed the "Baby Boom", broke the sound barrier for the first time during a test flight over ...
