It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that perform well at high speeds by minimizing "drag" don't have the "lift" needed for takeoff. The solution for Concorde was an elegant delta ...
If NASA’s bet on its newest X-plane pays off, the long-nosed aircraft could revolutionize commercial aviation. That is, if ...
For more than seven decades, speed has been the hallmark of commercial aviation. But while we have the capability to push ...
Boom's XB-1 aircraft was subjected to a maximum dynamic pressure higher than it will experience at Mach 1.1. The next test flight will likely go supersonic.
The flight tested its design and technology, which includes advanced aerodynamics and a carbon ... around 1,050 mph - which is slower than the Concorde but still twice as fast as standard planes.
