Sonic Boom

Developed by startup engineering company Venus Aerospace, this futuristic plane will reach astonishing speeds of up to Mach 6 (3,600mph/5,795km/h).

This innovative solution could revolutionise the aviation industry, enabling faster-than-sound travel while minimising the negative impacts associated with it.

Israeli warplanes swooped low over the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday, setting off a series of sonic booms that rattled windows across the city minutes before the head of Lebanon's Hezbollah was set to give an address.

The X-59 is an experimental aircraft designed to fly faster than the speed of sound while reducing the sound of the typical sonic boom to a sonic thump.

A sonic boom rattled US's Washington and Virginia on Monday after two F-16 fighter jets chased an "unresponsive aircraft" through the sky. As people took to social media to inquire about the strange noise, many residents also shared CCTV videos.

US fighter aircraft set off a sonic boom that rattled the Washington area on Sunday as it chased an unresponsive Cessna jet that had flown over the region and then later crashed in Virginia.

NASA on Wednesday shared an update about new wind tunnel tests it has conducted on a scaled-down model of its “quiet” supersonic jet in a bid to one day make supersonic flights flying over communities a reality.

A loud sound similar to that of an explosion was heard this morning at a town some 32 km from Karnataka's capital Bengaluru. The sound was reported from Bidadi, home to several quarry businesses.

A huge noise that panicked residents of Paris on Wednesday was caused by a sonic boom as a military jet broke the speed of sound, police in the French capital said.

A mysterious "boom" heard in large parts of Bengaluru this afternoon that left residents of the city and social media users puzzled later turned out to be the sonic boom of a test aircraft.

NASA has captured unprecedented photos of the interaction of shockwaves from two supersonic aircraft, part of its research into developing planes that can fly faster than sound without thunderous "sonic booms".

NASA has inked a deal with Lockheed Martin to develop a supersonic "X-plane" that could break the sound barrier without a sonic boom, officials said Tuesday.

Britain on Wednesday scrambled RAF Typhoon fighter jets to escort a Ryanair flight from Lithuania to Britain after a hoax security alert, the defence ministry and airline said, adding that the flight landed safely.
