Boom Supersonic's XB-1 pathfinder vehicle went out in style on Monday (Feb. 10), breaking the sound barrier three times on its 13th and final test flight.
Experimental jet achieves supersonic flight, minus the boom
Boom Supersonic passed a major milestone last month when its XB-1 prototype became the first civil aircraft to break the sound barrier over the continental US. Less than a month later, Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg has once again surpassed Mach 1 in the experimental plane while flying as high as 36,
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
'Baby Boom' – the jet that could bring back supersonic travel
The scaled-down prototype, nicknamed the "Baby Boom", broke the sound barrier for the first time during a test flight over the Mojave Desert in California in late January. The small jet, officially called XB-1, reached an altitude of 35,000 feet before accelerating to Mach 1.1 (844mph) – "10% faster than the speed of sound", said Sky News.

SPEEDY flights that blast off faster than the speed of sound look set to return to skies as a US company reveals huge progress on a new Concorde-like service. Boom’s XB-1 jet, dubbed the
Boom Supersonic breaks sound barrier without 'audible boom'
A Colorado-based company said it broke the sound barrier three times without generating a sonic boom that reached the ground.
Boom Supersonic sans the sonic boom: The XB-1's quiet Mach 1 flight
If you've been keeping tabs on aviation news as of late, you saw that Boom Supersonic just recently broke the sound barrier with its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft. Oddly enough, no one on the ground heard a thing during its "boomless" cruise.
How Did The XB-1 Jet Break The Sound Barrier Without Producing An Audible Sonic Boom?
Boom Supersonic, the company aiming to create commercial planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound, have successfully tested their XB-1 jet. According to the company, the jet was able to fly without producing a sonic boom that was audible from the ground.
