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.

Supersonic aircraft design has re-emerged as ... design methods has enabled researchers to achieve more precise control over shock wave formation and propagation, thereby offering practical ...

speed advantage over slower jets earned its manufacturer ... Gone is Richard Tracy’s trapezoidal-shaped, supersonic laminar flow airfoil. Aerion and Boeing created a clean-screen cranked arrow ...

The last one he’s just posted to Youtube, is particularly interesting as it shows the bow shock wave created by the Starfighter flying supersonic over Florida. In particular, what you can see in ...

As the design was finalized over the past two years ... Aerion also changed from the aircraft’s original supersonic laminar flow wing design to a cranked-arrow wing—a move revealed by Aviation ...

Abstract: The study of an airfoil at low Reynolds number regime was found to be a typical problem where the inception of bifurcations leads the flow evolution from a stationary or periodic behaviour ...

Boom has raised more than $150 million over two funding ... materials and our propulsion flow path. We’ll learn more about adapting a subsonic engine for supersonic flight.

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 ...
