NASA has finally taken the wraps off its highly anticipated supersonic jet, the X-59, which promises to revolutionize air ...

The future of flight is about to break the sound barrier, quietly. Meet NASA’s X-59 QueSST, a revolutionary supersonic ...

LE BOURGET—Despite President Trump’s recent executive order directing the FAA to lift the long-standing ban on overland supersonic flight, the X-59 low boom demonstrator remains highly ...

High above the Mojave Desert, NASA's two F-15 jets completed a pivotal series of May flights to validate airborne tools essential for the agency's Quesst mission, aimed at enabling quiet supersonic ...

ABOVE: The X-59 was unveiled during a ceremony at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works Palmdale, California facility The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Lockheed Martin have formally ...

The X-59 is the main tool of the Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) program that kicked off almost a decade ago. The main goal of the research is come up with design ideas and technologies that ...

It’s been 22 years since the last flight of the Concorde, a now-retired supersonic airliner that flew at a maximum speed of 1,345 miles per hour (2,179 kilometers per hour). At those speeds, you ...

The order, thus, casts doubt on NASA's Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) program and the almost complete X-59 test plane.

NASA and Lockheed Martin, which are collaborating on the X-59 that's gearing up for its maiden flight Boom Supersonic, which broke the sound barrier sans a boom earlier this year ...

In addition to Boom, which successfully tested its prototype XB-1 supersonic aircraft earlier this year in the Mojave Desert with special permissions, NASA has also been testing its own supersonic ...

The aircraft would typically accelerate from around 300kt after take-off to M0.95, then transition to the supersonic regime at an altitude of 11,000m (36,000ft), reaching M1.2.

Boom Supersonic founder and CEO Blake Scholl wrote on X, noting that in January, his company’s XB-1 aircraft became the first privately developed supersonic jet to break the sound barrier.
