This allows NASA and Aerion engineers to continue investigating the extent and robustness of natural laminar flow over the ... refining of supersonic natural laminar flow airfoil design.

The force of this wind on the airfoil changes according to the acute angle formed between the airfoil and the direction of the air flow acting ... and drag takes over. Lift and drag are ...

Achieving supersonic flight over land may be within the reach of Boom ... typically an altitude of 35,000 to 36,000 feet, the sound waves flow to a “cutoff altitude” before curling upward ...
