Boom Supersonic Achieves Silent Supersonic Flight With "Boomless Cruise"

Boom Supersonic announced a major breakthrough, revealing that its Overture airliner can fly faster than the speed of sound without creating an audible sonic boom on the ground. This "Boomless Cruise" technology, made possible by Mach cutoff physics, could lead to regulatory changes allowing supersonic flights over land. Elon Musk voiced his support for easing such restrictions. Boom's XB-1 prototype recently achieved Mach 1.12 in testing, confirming its success. If approved, the technology could cut U.S. coast-to-coast flight times by 90 minutes. Boom has orders from major airlines, including American and United.
