A Plane Just Achieved Supersonic Flight Without the Sonic Boom
But while the successful test flight of XB-1 shows that supersonic flight without sonic booms is technically feasible, the next phase is making it economically feasible. Right now, both subsonic and sonic boom-producing supersonic travel are cheaper than using this Mach cutoff method.
