NASA’s X-59 has reached 924 mph and 55,000 feet, bringing the agency closer to proving that future supersonic passenger ...

The way forward for the future of supersonic flying.

NASA’S “Son of Concorde” jet that could fly from the UK to New York in four hours has smashed through the sound barrier without triggering the usual sonic boom. The experimental ...

More than two decades since the Concorde supersonic airliner last took to the skies, NASA has been flying an experimental aircraft designed to replace loud sonic booms with a quieter thump equivalent ...

A long-standing ban on commercial supersonic flights over the United States would be overturned in a new rule proposed by the ...

A plane built by Nasa has broken the sound barrier without producing a sonic boom, bringing civilian supersonic flights a step closer.

For decades, supersonic flights over the continental United States have been banned by regulators due to the sonic booms produced by the aircraft. However, it sounds like that could soon be changing.

"We're aiming to pick up where Concorde left off," says Blake Scholl. Fifty years after the Anglo-French jet first carried paying passengers faster than the speed of sound, the Denver-based ...

NASA’s X-59 is changing supersonic travel. Can it turn the explosive sonic boom into a quiet "thump" to bring back fast flight?

A ban on continental supersonic flight has been in place since the 1970s, to ensure nobody endures the noisy sonic booms left in their wake. Aeronautic engineering has come a long way since then, ...

The US is taking major steps to end its 50-year ban on overland supersonic flight, with the FAA planning new noise-based rules that could open the door to commercial passenger jets travelling at over ...
