Boom Supersonic, aiming to revolutionize supersonic passenger transportation, passed an important threshold with the XB-1, which he performed in line with this goal. In the test flight on 28 January 2025, the XB-1 has exceeded the speed of sound three times, but none of them had no heard an eruption.

Blake Scholl, CEO of the company, says that this success confirms a long -term truth: “Supersonik travel can be economical, sustainable and friendly for both aircraft and the earth.”

The innovation behind this silent supersonic flight technology is called “Boomless Cruise ..

What is Boomless Cruise?

Boomless Cruise is based on a physical phenomenon known as Mach Cutoff. If an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound at a high enough altitude, the sound waves are broken and dispersed in the atmosphere before reaching the ground.

The special microphones that Boom placed on the flight route confirmed that there was no explosion sound on the ground even when the MACH of the XB-1 reached the MACH 1.12 speed. NASA’s research in 2016 also revealed the applicability of this principle. Currently, Lockheed Martin’s projects such as X-59 Quest are also progressing in line with similar goals.

If this technology can be applied successfully, aviation regulators may review the restrictions on supersonic flights and allow future supersonic flights to accelerate on the land.

Boom Supersonic’s main goal is to ensure that the overture passenger aircraft it develops can also come out of the supersonic speed on the land. If the arrangements change, Boomless Cruise can shorten the flight times from the shore to the shore in the US for 90 minutes, allowing Overture to fly without an explosion at speeds up to MACH 1.3. According to the company’s statement, thanks to Boomless Cruise technology, Overture can fly 50 percent faster than the jets on the land and double its speed on the ocean.

Symphony engine and future plans

Due to the existing rules, Overture is allowed to rise up to 0.94 speed. However, Boom Supersronic plans to overcome this limit using the Mach Cutoff principle at altitude of 30,000 feet with Symphony engine technology. The company plans to start full -scale core tests of the Symphony engine by the end of 2025. The tests that will evaluate the performance of the engine’s compressor, combustion room and turbine sections will accelerate engineering optimization and support the certification process.

If Boomless Cruise is successfully implemented, supersonic flights in commercial aviation will not only be limited to oceans and will open the door of a faster transportation worldwide. Boom Supersronic is known to have received a total of 130 overdarian order and pre -order order from major airlines such as American Airlines, United Airlines and Japan Airlines. Last year, the company completed the production facility Overfactory. It is planned to produce 66 overture aircraft annually. Overture was also designed to work with sustainable aviation fuel (pure).
