3 天之前 · An aircraft developed by Boom Supersonic has become the first independently funded jet to break the sound barrier.

The sound barrier or sonic barrier is the large increase in aerodynamic drag and other undesirable effects experienced by an aircraft or other object when it approaches the speed of sound.

4 天之前 · Boom Supersonic, the American company building what promises to be the world’s fastest airliner, broke the sound barrier for its first time with a test flight in Mojave, California, on Tuesday.

4 天之前 · A civilian jet broke the sound barrier for the first time Tuesday while making a historic test flight over the Mojave Desert. The XB-1 aircraft, manufactured by Boom Supersonic, was piloted by ...

4 天之前 · A sleek white aircraft has become the first independently developed jet to break the sound barrier. The XB-1 aircraft accelerated to Mach 1.05 within about 11 minutes of taking off Tuesday.

5 天之前 · Boom Supersonic made history today (Jan. 28) when its XB-1 jet broke the sound barrier for the first time on a test flight over the American desert.

4 天之前 · Boom’s supersonic test plane breaks the sound barrier for the first time On its 12th test flight, the Boom XB-1 prototype broke the sound barrier three times and achieved a top speed of Mach 1.1.

5 天之前 · The airspace in which Boom Supersonic complete its test holds historic significance—known as the Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor, the area is named after the first plane to break the sound barrier ...

2024年12月24日 · Sound barrier, sharp rise in aerodynamic drag that occurs as an aircraft approaches the speed of sound and that was formerly an obstacle to supersonic flight. If an aircraft flies at somewhat less than sonic speed, the pressure waves (sound waves) it creates outspeed their sources and spread out

We began this chapter by transporting ourselves back to October 14, 1947, and riding with Chuck Yeager as he flew the Bell X-1 through the sound barrier, becoming the first human to fly faster than sound.
