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.
