Boom Supersonic, a pioneering aerospace company, is setting new benchmarks in aviation history with its revolutionary supersonic aircraft, the XB-1. Following its historic first test, the XB-1 soared through the skies again on February 1, marking another major milestone in the journey to revive commercial supersonic travel. The aircraft first shattered the sound barrier during its January test flight and subsequently achieved supersonic speeds three more times during its latest mission.
In a groundbreaking development for the aerospace industry, the Mk-II Aurora has received approval for supersonic flight tests. This innovative vehicle, developed by Dawn Aerospace, promises to redefine our approach to accessing space by offering a reusable, high-frequency launch platform capable of operating multiple times per day.
Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division is already building the machine, which will produce a low bang instead of a sonic boom: it is expected to be little louder than the noise of a vacuum cleaner.
