The XB-1's flight, livestreamed from the Mojave Air & Space Port in California, made it the first civil supersonic jet made in the U.S. to break the sound barrier.
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.
Boom Supersonic made history when its XB-1 prototype jet broke the sound barrier for the first time. Chief test pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg took off today (January 28th 2025) in the ...
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.
NASA's F-15B Research Testbed, aircraft No. 836 (74-0141), with the Quiet Spike attachmentQuiet Spike was a collaborative program between Gulfstream Aerospace and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center to investigate the suppression of sonic booms.
Almost 22 years after Concorde made its final commercial flights, a prototype passenger jet has broken the sound barrier during a supersonic test flight.. Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 aircraft climbed ...
This F-5E was modified by NASA for a constant area beyond drag optimum to reduce the sonic boom. The NASA Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration, also known as the Shaped Sonic Boom Experiment, was a two-year program that used a Northrop F-5E with a modified fuselage to demonstrate that the aircraft's shock wave, and accompanying sonic boom, can be shaped, and thereby reduced.
(Reuters) - About 35,000 feet (10,670 meters) over the Mojave Desert, northwest of Los Angeles, Boom Supersonic's XB-1 became the first privately funded airplane to break the sound barrier during ...
