Boom CEO Blake Scholl confirmed that on January 28, the XB-1 successfully broke the sound barrier three times without creating an audible sonic boom. “We broke the sound barrier

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,

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.

Boom Supersonic's XB-1 made history on Tuesday by becoming the first civil aircraft to break the sound barrier. Before Tuesday, no civil private manufacturer had passed the sound barrier with an aircraft it had developed.

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's XB-1 jet just broke the sound barrier. Achieving Mach 1.112 is a milestone for the aerospace brand, which began operations in 2014.

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.

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

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.
