NASA's F-15D research aircraft is positioned adjacent to the X-59 during electromagnetic compatibility testing at U.S. Air ...

NASA is looking at several ways to reduce the sonic boom generated when something goes supersonic. The X-59, for instance, looks like a fighter jet but has the single engine installed on top of ...

Based on the single modified F414-GE-100 engine, the quiet supersonic jet generates a sonic thump instead of a sonic boom. For those unaware, when planes cross the speed of sound (1,234km/h) or Mach 1 ...

NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft has successfully completed a series of engine performance tests, marking a key milestone toward its first ...

When planes exceed Mach 1 (the speed of sound, or about 767 miles per hour—1,234 kilometers/hour for those using the metric ...

The X-59 jet is Nasa and Lockheed Martin's joint offering, which the pair hope will retire the deafening sonic boom that is usually associated with supersonic aircraft. The X-59 is designed to hit ...

The X-59 is a one-of-a-kind experimental aircraft designed to demonstrate the ability to fly supersonically while generating a gentle "sonic thump" rather than the loud sonic boom that is ...

NASA has completed the engine ground tests on its supersonic jet, which is expected to take to skies later this year. The X-59 jet is Nasa and Lockheed Martin’s joint offering, which the ...

American company Boom Supersonic flew faster than the speed of sound with its XB-1 supersonic demonstrator aircraft. It’s now ...
