Could the future of air travel finally outrun the sound barrier without shattering the peace below? NASA and Lockheed ...

If you’ve heard a sonic boom recently, you probably remember it. The loud, explosion-like bang – caused by a plane flying faster than the speed of sound – can be startling, and even crack windows.

After years of development, NASA’s supersonic airplane takes its first flight. At last, the X-59 is airborne. NASA’s quiet ...

An XB-1 aircraft’s shock waves created during a supersonic flight have been captured using specialized ground-based photography. January saw XB-1 make history as the first privately developed civil ...

We’ll start to miss this sort of thing soon. NASA partnered with Boom Supersonic to capture the invisible; the supersonic shockwave of Boom’s XB-1 aircraft breaking the sound barrier. "This image ...

NASA’s X-59 will help change the way we travel, bringing us closer together in much less time,” said NASA deputy administrator Pam Melroy in a statement. “It will be significantly quieter than ...

Now, NASA is working to change those regulations by transforming the boom into a "thump," paving the way for a new generation of quieter supersonic aircraft. The agency is doing so through a program ...
