The Boeing 747's design requirements, paired with the engine technology of the 1960s, meant the aircraft was designed with four engines.

NASA scientists are advancing supersonic parachutes with advanced sensors to make it more reliable and safer at delivering ...

Boom Supersonic is the first independently-funded jet to break the sound barrier.

I went on board the first Concorde prototype, and one of the last built, at a Paris museum. Boom's Overture means supersonic flight could soon return.

NASA's X-59 starts taxi tests, a key step toward supersonic flight, aiming to revolutionize commercial aviation with quieter technology.

Supersonic flight began with dangerous experiments in the 20th century and culminated in Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in 1947 with the Bell X-1. Commercial supersonic travel briefly ...

NASA recently took its new X-59 "quiet' supersonic jet for a drive during taxi tests, one of the final hurdles between the aircraft and its first flight.

The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA's Quesst mission, which aims to demonstrate quiet supersonic flight by reducing the loud sonic boom to a quieter "thump." ...

Breakfast in New York, midmorning snack in London. Taxi tests are underway on a highly anticipated supersonic plane designed to quietly break the sound barrier — and slash flight time between ...

To address this problem, NASA’s Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project has partnered with the US defense contractor Lockheed Martin to produce the X-59 QueSST (Quiet SuperSonic Technology), a bold ...
