Designed to hit transonic speeds in under a minute, the Soviet BI rocket fighter was a daring leap into future warfare. But ...

Meet the X-66A, NASA's Sustainable Flight Demonstrator full-scale single-aisle research plane, featuring transonic truss-braced wings and designed to explore net-zero aviation emissions and more ...

Supersonic wind tunnels are rather simple (though very expensive) to build. When their air moves well above the speed of sound, it passes through the experimental chamber in a smooth, even stream.

This design, known as transonic truss-braced wing (TTBW), could in theory allow the plane to generate more lift, thus reducing the amount of fuel it needs for certain portions of the flight.

This new business jet could bring in super-fast net-zero flight by 2030 - two decades ahead of aviation sector targets.

Boeing is developing the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing configuration through the Sustainable Flight National Partnership, a NASA initiative to make aviation more environmentally friendly.

The transonic truss-braced wing (TTBW) aircraft was expected to make its first flight in 2028. As well as being NASA’s largest X-plane, the X-66 was due to provide Boeing with a test platform ...

Boeing’s Transonic Truss-Braced Wing concept, or TTBW, involves building an aircraft with extra-long, extra-thin wings that spread over the top of the fuselage.

Boeing is pumping the brakes on its experimental X-66 flight demonstrator.. The aircraft—being developed with a transonic truss-braced wing—is on “pause for later consideration” after ...

Boeing will work with NASA to build, test and fly a full-scale demonstrator aircraft based on Boeing’s Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) design. First flight is scheduled for 2028, part of a ...

Transonic shock analysis occupies a central role in understanding fluid dynamics where flows transition between supersonic and subsonic regimes within Euler systems. In these scenarios, a shock ...
