Supersonic passenger flights with no sonic boom felt on the ground? Boom Supersonic thinks so after recent test flight.
A supersonic Boom Supersonic flight across the United States — beginning potentially as early as 2029 — could be at least 90 minutes quicker than current top flight speeds, while
Boom flies supersonic without sonic boom
Boomless Cruise is based on physics known as the Mach cutoff, in which a sonic boom refracts in the atmosphere and never reaches the ground. This was achieved by breaking the sound barrier at a higher altitude, with the exact speeds varying based on the atmospheric conditions.
Boom hopes its breakthrough will allow supersonic flights over land, making US coast-to-coast flights 90 minutes faster.
Flight experts say in ideal conditions, a sonic ... in real-time. “We worked with SpaceX to pair the Mini Antenna with an aviation data plan, presumably removing software speed caps,” Boom ...
