On January 28, the company’s XB-1 demonstrator achieved supersonic flight three times with no audible sonic boom measured on the ground. That paves the way for quiet travel at the speed of sound ...

Using high-speed cameras, they then recorded the impacts of the supersonic microprojectiles, moving at 1,337 meters per second, which is more than four times the speed of sound,. While bond ...

Boom Supersonic has an impressive new speed record in its latest test flight with its XB-1.With its vision set to revolutionize air travel, this is a huge step to make things happen.

The testing evolution of Boom Supersonic’s Overture aircraft has entered a pivotal speed corridor for the goal of achieving supersonic flight by year’s end, the manufacturer said this week.

Boom Supersonic—the developer of a 64-to-80-passenger commercial airliner that flies faster than the speed of sound—last week set speed and altitude records with its XB-1 test aircraft.

Supersonic flight means breaking the sound barrier, but there are some myths as to what pilots actually feel at Mach 1. Here's the truth from experts.

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

The small aircraft reached a top speed of Mach 1.122 (roughly 750 miles per hour) in a flight over southern California and exceeded the speed of sound for a few minutes.

Supersonic cruise missiles are capable of exceeding the speed of sound: 767 mph. Some can approach Mach 5, though few come close. One that does is the Rahuga Kh-32, which is a Russian-made ...
