NASA's new experimental aircraft will go thump in the night – that's the plan, anyway. The X-59, set to be unveiled in Palmdale, California, on Friday, is designed to turn the volume down on ...

SUPERSONIC holiday flights over land are one step closer after an experimental “quiet” supersonic Nasa jet took flight. Late ...

The explosive noise happens when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound. Though the X-59 is not a prototype, its technology could influence the future of supersonic flight. Earlier this ...

A collaboration between NASA and Lockheed Martin has produced an experimental jet capable of flying beyond the speed of sound ...

Lockheed Martin and NASA's X-59 is a new supersonic aircraft designed to reduce the sonic pollution that comes with supersonic travel. But just how fast is it?

NASA and Lockheed Martin have tested the experimental supersonic aircraft X-59 on a first test flight to check onboard systems.

NASA's X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) aircraft will be unveiled on January 12, 2024. The X-59 is designed to produce a much quieter sonic boom, aiming to enable supersonic flight over land.

NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

It's been a very busy year for one of NASA's more daring aeronautical projects, one meant to find an innovative way to cut down airplane fuel consumption and emissions. So busy, in fact, that all the ...

The push of the aviation industry to cut down on traditional fuel consumption and the resulting harmful emissions comes in many shapes and sizes. Some are trying new engine designs, others are ...

NASA and Boeing said Monday the aircraft produced through the agency’s Sustainable Flight Demonstrator project has been designated by the U.S. Air Force as the X-66A. The new X-plane seeks to inform a ...
