Lockheed Martin's X-59 experimental quiet supersonic aircraft completed its first flight, moving toward NASA testing for ...
The jet, built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, took off from US Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California. Flown by Nils Larson, NASA’s lead test pilot for the X-59, the inaugural flight validated ...
A "son of Concorde" aircraft that may one day fly from New York to London in 1.5 hours has reached supersonic speeds. An incredible image shows Boom Supersonic's XB-1 jet breaking the sound barrier.
Supersonic aircraft design has re-emerged as a focal point in aerospace research, driven by the need to develop transport solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally acceptable.
