Supersonic jet noise and flow dynamics represent a critical area of research within aerospace engineering, intertwining the study of high-speed fluid mechanics, shock-wave generation and acoustic ...

A supersonic jet plane designed to make very little noise took flight for the first time this week, cruising over the southern California desert just after sunrise in what could be the first step ...

A new "quiet" supersonic X-59 jet designed to revolutionize air travel successfully completed its first test flight, Lockheed Martin announced this week. The sleek, needle-point aircraft built for ...

NASA just wrapped engine performance tests on its X-59 research aircraft, which the space agency hopes will prove a means of mitigating supersonic aircraft’s odious sonic booms. NASA and Lockheed ...

NASA and Lockheed Martin's supersonic X-59 aircraft-which moved under its own power for the first time in July-is nearing its maiden flight. The space agency on Tuesday said it is "about to begin" ...

Supersonic flight refers to aircraft travelling faster than the speed of sound, approximately Mach one at sea level, or ...

For several years now we've been watching a series of companies and organizations fight to develop new aircraft technologies and designs that could make supersonic flight over land quieter, and thus ...
