"Boomless Cruise: How Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 breaks the sound barrier quietly" by AeroTime - #XB1 test flight had sensors monitoring on the ground which confirmed no sonic boom reached the ground during three times it exceeded Mach 1. Using subsonic speed longer for climb, they reached Mach 1+ above the altitude where booms refract back up before reaching the ground. A nice new trick for potential #supersonic air #travel over land. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/boom-supersonic-boomless-cruise #aviation #avgeek

Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom.
We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇

Weekly output: Boom Supersonic’s XB-1, Comcast low latency, painstaking passkey progress
This has been a strange, sad and shocking week in the nation’s capital–first the mid-air collision outside National Airport Wednesday that left 67 people dead and ended a nearly 16-year streak without fatal crashes by U.S. airlines, then Elon Musk’s attempts to stage what I have to call a digital coup at the Treasury Department and the Agency for International Development.
Patreon readers got an extra post this week: my annual breakdown of last year’s income according to the business models of my freelance clients.
1/28/2025: Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 Testbed Plane Breaks the Sound Barrier, PCMag
Having Boom bump this test flight from Monday to Tuesday gave me a little extra time to check two descriptions of the XB-1: “independently developed” (Boom did this without government dollars or direction, unlike the Northrop F-20 fighter that was built with private money but was based on the earlier, taxpayer-funded F-5, and which that company developed at the request of the Pentagon) and “exceed Mach 1” (XB-1 sustained that achievement in level flight, unlike the Bombardier business-jet prototype that cracked the sound barrier in shallow dives in 2021).
1/29/2025: Comcast Upgrade Promises Ultra-Low Lag Xfinity Internet for Video Calls, VR, Games, PCMag
Comcast’s announcement of this new feature was shockingly short on details, but a company publicist was willing to answer e-mail after e-mail as I realized the data points I needed to write this post.
2/1/2025: The Passkey Future Is Here, But Some Companies Still Make It Too Complicated, PCMag
A year after I interviewed FIDO Alliance CEO Andrew Shikiar at a conference in D.C. about identity and authentication, I sat down with him at the 2025 version of this conference to discuss what the industry had and had not accomplished since January.

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!https://news.sky.com/story/new-concorde-prototype-jet-breaks-sound-barrier-for-first-time-13298478

The first #rap #GirlGroup vinyl album that I bought in 80s was by #JJFad & this #Supersonic title track made me hit up the record store 🎶🎵 One of the first acts signed to Eazy E's Ruthless Records label.
*The city of Rialto, CA named a street after the hiphop girl group. Parts of Lurelane off Cactus, were named JJ Fad Way.*

#JetFighters chase small plane in #Washington area before it crashes in #Virginia
The #UnitedStates scrambled F-16 fighter jets in a #Supersonic chase of a light aircraft with an unresponsive pilot that violated airspace in the #WashingtonDC area and later crashed into the mountains of Virginia, officials said.
Four people were on board the Cessna, a source familiar with the matter said. A Cessna Citation can carry seven to 12 passengers.
