A Colorado aerospace company just took a giant leap toward bringing back supersonic air travel—and yes, it got loud. For the first time in decades, a commercial supersonic jet prototype successfully broke the sound barrier during a test flight, reviving dreams of cutting international flight times in half.
The milestone follows a decade of research to overcome challenges that grounded the iconic Concorde in 2003, including noise complaints and high costs. Engineers now claim their design reduces disruptive 'sonic booms' to quieter 'sonic thumps,' potentially making overland supersonic flights feasible again.
"This is the dawn of a new supersonic age," said a company spokesperson. While regulatory hurdles remain, the breakthrough has aviation enthusiasts buzzing. Could New York to Tokyo in 5 hours become routine by 2030? Stay tuned.
