NASA plans to conduct community overflights beginning this year, flying the X-59 over select American cities to collect ...

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 ...

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

Some may already be familiar with the sonic boom that accompanies a break to the sound barrier, but when and why would ...

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 ...

Witness NASA and JAXA’s 19-inch X-59 scale model hit Mach 1.4 (925 mph) in Tokyo’s wind tunnel as researchers chase a quieter sonic thump.

When the experimental XB-1 aircraft broke the sound barrier three times during its first supersonic flight on 28 January, it did not produce a sonic boom audible from the ground, according to US ...

The aircraft can allegedly reach Mach 1.7, and the company said it hopes to carry passengers by 2029. Unfortunately, the sonic boom is still an issue for Boom Supersonic's designs and those of ...

Boom Supersonic says its XB-1 aircraft achieved supersonic flight without an audible sonic boom on the ground below. CEO Blake Scholl hopes supersonic passenger flight will eventually be allowed ...

The blade tip speed limit of a propeller plane's propeller can determine the plane's top speed for reasons relating to design ...
