Imaging a New Era of Supersonic Travel

Supersonic commercial travel was briefly possible in the twentieth century when the Concorde flew. But the window-rattling sonic boom of that aircraft made governments restrict supersonic travel over land. Now a new generation of aviation companies are revisiting the concept of supersonic commercial travel with technologies that help dampen the irritating effects of a plane’s shock waves.

One such company, Boom Supersonic, partnered with NASA to capture the above schlieren image of their experimental XB-1 aircraft in flight. The diagonal lines spreading from the nose, wings, and tail of the aircraft mark shock waves. It’s those shock waves’ interactions with people and buildings on the ground that causes problems. But the XB-1 is testing out scalable methods for producing weaker shock waves that dissipate before reaching people down below, thus reducing the biggest source of complaints about supersonic flight over land.

I’ve been following “Boom Supersonic” and “Tokamak Energy” on the internet for years now, and it’s great to see the breakthrough from Boom today. Hopefully Overture will be a lot nearer, and supersonic passenger flights will soon be flying again!
