The race for quiet supersonic flight takes a leap forward with NASA's X-59. But what challenges remain before it becomes a ...
NASA's X-59 aircraft uses radical design to reduce sonic booms to 75-decibel thumps, potentially ending the 50-year ban on ...
The craft is part of the US space agency's mission to find a way for ordinary planet travel to become much faster. Find out more here.
A "son of Concorde" that could take you from New York to London in under four hours is a step closer to take-off. NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft has officially begun taxi tests, ...
NASA has begun testing a new supersonic aircraft, almost 22 years after Concorde flew its last passenger service. The “quiet” X-59 research aircraft – 99.7 feet long, with a wingspan of 29.7 feet – is ...
Today, NASA announced its latest experimental aircraft called the Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator (LBFD). The agency signed a contract to design the plane back in 2016; now it's ready to proceed with ...
Since 1973, the U.S. FAA has quieted the skies by banning supersonic flight over populated areas in order to prevent sonic booms. Commercial air travel has thus been limited to less than 660 miles per ...
NASA offer cool careers that go far beyond being an astronaut. There are plenty of jobs that are just as impressive such as ...
A "son of Concorde" that could fly from London to New York in under four hours is preparing for take-off. NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft is undergoing final safety tests before making ...
