Last week , Boom Supersonic flew faster than the speed of sound with its XB-1 supersonic demonstrator aircraft.

It’s the first piloted non-military aircraft to break the sound barrier since the Concorde was retired in 2003 .

Boom plans to build an airliner called Overture that can fly at Mach 1.7 .

Flying supersonically can drastically decrease flight times.

Quesst aims to use the geometry of the X-59 , with a long elongated nose, to dissipate sonic booms to a weak “thump” Boom Supersonic doesn’t plan to fly supersonically over land.

Overture will use up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel to reduce emissions and its carbon footprint.
