NASA’s sleek and quiet supersonic jet — which is built to reach speeds of up to 925 mph without producing a loud sonic boom— soared across the California desert in its first test flight on Tuesday, ...

For decades, flying faster than the speed of sound has meant speeding across the skies in an aircraft that creates a powerful sonic boom -- a huge noise that travels down to the ground below like a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Boeing and NASA will pause work on a new, experimental aircraft design meant to deliver more sustainable options for the future of aviation. The aircraft project — called the X-66A Sustainable Flight ...

During the Cold War, an unusual experimental jet became a critical training tool for NASA, allowing astronauts to rehearse lunar landing techniques years before Apollo. Flown by Neil Armstrong himself ...
