Supersonic

Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator creates a sonic boom not audible from the ground below, potentially opening up opportunities for supersonic flight over land.

Company’s XB-1 ‘Baby Boom’ demonstrator breaks the sound barrier at Mojave Air & Space Port in California, where the first supersonic flight occurred in 1947.

New Zealand manufacturer Dawn Aerospace achieves supersonic flight with its Mk-II Aurora, which is the first civil aircraft in decades to achieve the feat.

Last week’s deployment of the company’s XB-1 demonstrator marked the seventh of 10 test flights before it is expected to reach Mach 1.0.

Supersonic research aircraft’s powerplant fired up for the first time at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California.

The developer of a supersonic passenger airliner provides a few key updates at the Farnborough International Airshow.

New Zealand manufacturer Dawn Aerospace is developing ‘an aircraft with the performance of a rocket’ for suborbital space transportation.

The experimental aircraft is expected to fly 1.4 times the speed of sound, or around 925 mph, according to NASA.

Here’s when the aircraft designed to help shape possible future commercial supersonic flight will be revealed at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility.

Soviet designers got it right with the ‘Fishbed,’ which remains a hit with collectors.
