Supersonic tunnel trials suggest the X-59’s shape can scatter shock waves, paving the way for hush-hush high-speed flight.

NASA researchers have been using a tiny aircraft dubbed “Son of Concorde” in trials to assess the impact of supersonic ...

Discover how NASA's groundbreaking X-59 aircraft aims to break the sound barrier in silence, paving the way for a new era of quiet supersonic travel. Recent wind tunnel tests reveal promising results.

After Nick Sheryka's dreams of flying for the U.S. military were dashed because of hearing loss in his left ear, he didn't ...

The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA’s Quesst mission, an effort to prove that quiet supersonic flight is technically and socially viable. Once airborne, the jet will make a series of community ...

American space agency NASA sent a 19-inch scale version of the X-59 experimental aircraft to a Japanese wind tunnel for ...

Researchers from NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) recently tested a scale model of the X-59 ...

The test involved supersonic planes from the U.S. Air Force that conducted flights over the Oklahoma City metro area in 1964. For six months, up to eight sonic booms each day were generated by ...

While Boom Supersonic boasted about there being no audible sonic boom on the ground during the final test flight of its XB-1 demonstrator in February, its prospective airliner still isn't allowed ...

The Concorde suffered a fatal crash in July 2000, which spurred the end of the supersonic jet program. What's next for mach speed flight?

The University named the craft “Feitian-2” and according to Chinese media the test flight saw it reach Mach 12 (14,800 km/h ...

The closest I’ve ever been to being on a supersonic flight was looking at the Concorde on static display at the Intrepid Museum in New York.
