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.

The technologies that are being worked on in quiet aerodynamics, advanced shaping, noise suppression, and community acceptability data could forever alter how supersonic aircraft are constructed. This ...

NASA’s quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft has begun low-speed taxi tests, marking the first time it has moved under its own power and a final step before its first flight later this year. The X-59's ...

It's been a long time coming, but the first flight of the X-59 experimental aircraft, made by NASA and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works as a means to prove that quiet supersonic flight is possible, is more ...

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 offer cool careers that go far beyond being an astronaut. There are plenty of jobs that are just as impressive such as ...

NASA's experimental X-43A didn't have a pilot and couldn't fly independently, but its blisteringly high speeds showed that hypersonic flight was possible.

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 ...
