The recent test flight’s success was meticulously documented using advanced Schlieren photography, which visually captured the aircraft’s shock wave patterns. These images provided concrete evidence of the technology’s effectiveness, showing how the waves dispersed without forming the concentrated pressure front that creates sonic booms.

there was a monumental breakthrough on Feb 10 as Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 aircraft accomplished the unprecedented in aviation history: supersonic flight without generating a sonic boom over the Mojave Desert
Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 has changed this narrative through its implementation of Mach cutoff technology. This innovative approach exploits atmospheric conditions to redirect shock waves upward rather than toward the ground. By carefully selecting specific flight altitudes and analyzing atmospheric data, the aircraft effectively minimizes the impact of these pressure waves.
