Solving the Sonic Boom Problem with Quiet Supersonic Flight
One of the most significant barriers to supersonic flight has been the sonic boom. The Concorde’s sharp, thunderous boom — heard dozens of miles away — led to bans on supersonic flight over land in the United States and many other countries. As a result, Concorde operations were limited to transoceanic routes, reducing its market […]
Supersonic Flight — Faster Isn’t Enough
Supersonic flight has fascinated the aviation industry and public imagination for decades. The Concorde proved that high-speed air travel was technically possible — but its limitations in noise, cost, and environmental impact ultimately made it commercially unsustainable. Today, new advances in materials, propulsion, aerodynamics, and regulation are creating a renewed opportunity for supersonic flight. But […]
A Bold New Era of Air Travel: Supersonic Flight Returns Over Land
June 10, 2025 — In a landmark move last week, President Trump signed an executive order directing the FAA to repeal the longstanding ban on civilian supersonic flight over land. This 1973-era restriction has for decades prevented travelers from experiencing the full potential of fast, efficient, coast-to-coast air travel. Now, that’s changing—and it’s opening […]
The Biggest Hurdles to Reintroducing Supersonic Flight — And How We’re Addressing Them
Bringing back supersonic flight is one of aviation’s most exciting frontiers. Not just because of the speed, but because of what it unlocks: faster global commerce, stronger international collaboration, and the shrinking of distances that divide us. Of course, big leaps don’t come easy. From certification rules to sonic booms, the hurdles to supersonic flight […]
