It reached a speed of Mach 0.82. [28] On January 28, 2025, the XB-1 performed its first supersonic test flight from Mojave Air and Spaceport, piloted by chief test pilot Tristan Brandenburg. It went supersonic three times, reaching a top speed of Mach 1.1, being the first privately developed jet aircraft to do so.
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.

The Hawker Siddeley P.1154 was a planned supersonic vertical/short take-off and landing (V/STOL) fighter aircraft designed by Hawker Siddeley Aviation (HSA).. Development originally started under P.1150, which was essentially a larger and faster version of the basic layout and technology being developed by the smaller subsonic Hawker Siddeley P.1127/Kestrel.
A supersonic transport (SST) or a supersonic airliner is a civilian supersonic aircraft designed to transport passengers at speeds greater than the speed of sound in terms of air speed. To date, the only SSTs to see regular service have been Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144 .
The wind speeds may have been accelerated by climate change. Citing a recent study, meteorologist Jeff Beradelli said that for every 1°C increase in air temperatures, there could be a 2 per cent ...
The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was a delta-winged interceptor aircraft designed and built by Avro Canada.The CF-105 held the promise of Mach 2 speeds at altitudes exceeding 50,000 feet (15,000 m) and was intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) primary interceptor into the 1960s and beyond.
The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"), sometimes styled QueSST, is an American experimental supersonic aircraft under development by Skunk Works for NASA's Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project. [2] Preliminary design started in February 2016, with the X-59 planned to begin flight testing in 2021.
