NASA and Lockheed Martin introduced the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft on January 12, 2024, presenting it as a research plane designed to fly faster than sound without the explosive boom people ...

NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

NASA awards studies to SpaceWorks and Stratolaunch aimed at making hypersonic flight testing more affordable and repeatable.

NASA plans to conduct community overflights beginning this year, flying the X-59 over select American cities to collect public feedback on the “sonic thump.” Still, in some quarters, the dream lives ...

For decades, flying faster than the speed of sound has meant speeding across the skies in an aircraft that creates a powerful sonic boom -- a huge noise that travels down to the ground below like a ...

The race to come up with ways to cut back on fuel consumption in the aviation industry is giving birth to all sorts of wacky designs, in terms of both engines and airframes. One of them is the ...
