After having previously supported Booster 12 during flight 5, engine #314 will be reflown on Booster 14. [2]
The X-54A was reported as being developed by Gulfstream Aerospace and is intended to be powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay turbofan engines. [1] The X-54A may be connected to Gulfstream's "Sonic Whisper" program, trademarked in 2005 as an aircraft design to "reduce boom intensities during supersonic flight"; [9] besides Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin and Boeing have also produced viable designs for ...
The XB-1 took its first flight on March 22, 2024, flown by Chief Test Pilot Bill Shoemaker from Mojave Air and Space Port. [1] On April 16, 2024, the FAA issued a special license for the XB-1 to exceed Mach 1 at the nearby Black Mountain Supersonic Corridor. Test flights to Mach 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 are planned for later in 2024. [24]

The interaction of shock waves from two supersonic aircraft, photographed for the first time by NASA using the Schlieren method in 2019. A supersonic aircraft is an aircraft capable of supersonic flight, that is, flying faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1). Supersonic aircraft were developed in the second half of the twentieth century.
