Boom Supersonic sans Sonic boom

Boom Supersonic says XB-1 aircraft flew over Mach 1 with no audible sonic boom on the ground below
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.
How the XB-1 aircraft went supersonic without a sonic boom
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
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.
This Company Is Taking the ‘Boom’ Out of Supersonic Flight
Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 creates a sonic boom inaudible from the ground below when flying at the exact right speed and altitude.
Boom boasts supersonic success with XB-1
More than 20 years since the final Concorde flight, is a small US start-up now on course to bring back supersonic air travel? TIM ROBINSON FRAeS and JOE COLES debrief Boom’s XB-1 test pilot and consider the next steps in civil supersonics.
XB-1 supersonic aircraft smashes sound barrier without explosive boom
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.
'Baby Boom' – the jet that could bring back supersonic travel
The scaled-down prototype, nicknamed the "Baby Boom", broke the sound barrier for the first time during a test flight over the Mojave Desert in California in late January. The small jet, officially called XB-1, reached an altitude of 35,000 feet before accelerating to Mach 1.1 (844mph) – "10% faster than the speed of sound", said Sky News.
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
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,
Supersonic XB-1 Jet Completes Final Test Flight, Paving the Way for the Overture
The XB-1 supersonic jet from Boom Supersonic completed its 13th and final test flight on February 10, 2025, breaking the sound barrier for the last time.
