Next-generation supersonic commercial flights are being developed by NASA and private companies.

Supersonic aircraft achieve speeds faster than Mach 1 (approximately 1224 kilometers per hour) This speed generates shock waves that create a loud “sonic boom,” powerful enough to startle people, disturb wildlife, and even shatter windows.

The Concorde faced significant backlash due to these booms, leading to widespread bans on flights over land.
