I posted a video about this tech a couple of months ago. NASA's X-59 is in the active testing stage, with its first flight planned for this year.

The main American competitor to this Chinese company right now is Boom Supersonic, whose XB-1 test plane has already flown. Their first full scale plane, the Boom Overture, is in development.
