00:00January 2025. Over the skies of California, a sleek aircraft slices through the air, faster than sound itself.
00:08The XB-1, a demonstrator jet from Boom Supersonic, has just shattered a milestone. It broke the sound barrier.
00:15But what does it mean to break the sound barrier, and why is this moment so historic?
00:20The sound barrier refers to the dramatic increase in aerodynamic resistance that occurs as an object approaches the speed of sound.
00:27In dry air at sea level, that speed is about 343 meters per second, or 1,235 kilometers per hour, roughly 767 miles per hour.
00:39As a plane nears this speed, air pressure builds up in front of it, creating shock waves.
00:44These waves cause turbulence, drag, and even structural stress.
00:49For decades, this barrier was thought to be unbreakable.
00:52In 1947, test pilot Chuck Yeager became the first human to break the sound barrier in the Bell X-1, a rocket-powered aircraft.
01:01Since then, supersonic flight has become a reality, but mostly for military jets and the now-retired Concorde.
01:08When a plane exceeds the speed of sound, it outruns its own pressure waves.
01:12The result? A sonic boom, a thunderous crack heard on the ground as the shock waves pass by.
01:18Fast forward to 2025. Boom Supersonics' XB1 flew 10% faster than the speed of sound, marking a new chapter in commercial aviation.
01:28This flight wasn't just a test, it was a promise.
01:31The company's goal? To launch Overture, the first supersonic commercial airliner since Concorde.
01:37Designed to carry passengers at twice the speed of today's jets, Overture could cut transatlantic flight times in half.
01:43Supersonic travel isn't just about speed, it's about connection.
01:48Imagine flying from New York to London in just 3.5 hours.
01:52Boom's vision is to make this a reality, sustainably and affordably.
01:56With a focus on sustainable aviation fuel and carbon-neutral operations,
02:01Boom hopes to redefine what fast, responsible travel looks like.
02:04The sound barrier was once a wall.
02:06Now it's a gateway to a faster, more connected future.
02:10And Boom Supersonic just took the first step through it.
02:13Stay tuned, the age of supersonic travel is about to take off.
