    Spike is confident its aircraft will not create sonic booms when going supersonic, allowing it to fly at these speeds even over land.

    3D renderings are certainly capable of doing any type of magical things. I’ll need a demonstrator before this can be entertained as anything but fantasy.

      I mean, sonic booms are literally the air infront of the aircraft flying faster than sound being compressed…

      So either they found a way around physics, or this is a high school “assume friction and air resistance are 0” caculation.
