Boom Supersonic is an airplane manufacturer that is developing supersonic airliners. It aims to kickstart a “supersonic revival”, and its mission is to allow this return of commercial supersonic aviation via the launch of its Overture aircraft, which is still in development. In January 2025, a successful test of its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft, which went supersonic, represented “the first time an independently developed jet has broken the sound barrier”. The flight also successfully demonstrated another technological breakthrough of the company, Boomless Cruise, which will allow supersonic flights to take place over land with no audible sonic boom.
