Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 aircraft climbed over 35,000ft on Tuesday before accelerating to Mach 1.1 speed and then breaking the sound barrier in three high-speed runs spanning 35 minutes over the ...
Manned by Boom Supersonic's chief test pilot Tristan "Geppetto" Brandenburg, the XB-1 launched in the early hours of Tuesday, reaching an altitude of 35,290 feet and accelerating to speed Mach 1. ...
The sound barrier or sonic barrier is the large increase in aerodynamic drag and other undesirable effects experienced by an aircraft or other object when it approaches the speed of sound. When aircraft first approached the speed of sound, these effects were seen as constituting a barrier, making faster speeds very difficult or impossible.
XB-1 achieved Mach 0.95 during its most-recent test flight on Jan. 10, according to Boom Supersonic. Boom founder and CEO Blake Scholl poses by a model of the XB-1 on July 23, 2024 in Farnborough ...
In the late 1950s, following the breaking of the sound barrier, first by experimental aircraft, then military aircraft, a supersonic passenger aircraft was thought feasible. By the early 1970s however, opposition led to bans on commercial supersonic flight in Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, West Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Canada and the ...

XB-1 became the first American-made private supersonic jet to fly faster than the speed of sound as Boom Supersonic works toward building a fleet of supersonic jets for commercial air travel.
Derry's DH 108 historic test flight was used in dramatized form in the 1952 film The Sound Barrier directed by David Lean. John Justin plays Philip Peel, a test pilot who brings his plane through the sound barrier and out of the speed-creating dive by the untried technique of applying reverse direction to the control column.
