Supersonic Flight Without The Boom: NASA's X-59 Experimental Aircraft Takes Flight For First Time
Shush! The era of quiet supersonic air travel is upon us. After years of development and setbacks, aeronautical engineers in ...
Although an airliner's engines may be quite loud on takeoff, its wings also create a lot of wind noise when it's landing. According to a new study, the latter problem could be addressed with the ...
Abstract: The return of commercial supersonic flight requires innovative solutions to be developed that meet noise and efficiency requirements for overland flight. To study such a possibility NASA is ...
For more than a century now, humanity has had the ability to take to the sky. The aviation industry, one of the most dynamic of any field of human activity, has progressed greatly during this time, ...
An alloy of titanium and nickel is as strong as steel but stretches like a rubbery polymer. With some clever engineering, it may eventually lead to technologies like shape-shifting aircraft. Cavities ...
