New ‘Boom’ for Supersonic Travel

PAGES 73, 74, 77.
Jennifer Coutts Clay discusses the return of ultra high-speed travel in the April/May 2025 issue of Aircraft Cabin Management magazine. She recounts the events of supersonic jetliner manufacturer Boom Supersonic’s sound-barrier breaking test flight of the XB-1 aircraft; revisits the glory days and legacy of Concorde, the first supersonic commercial passenger jet; and considers the future of supersonic travel in the modern era.

“The XB-1 is the very first civilian aircraft to fly supersonic above the United States continental landmass.”
