From the first days of flying to the evolution of supersonic jets, historic aircraft offer a road map for comprehending the ideas guiding aeronautical engineering. Every invention-from the ...

When a jet breaks the sound barrier ... digital engineering is a huge enabler for why supersonic flight’s coming back,” Scholl told CNN. “Aerodynamics, materials, propulsion: Those are ...

Boom Supersonic has developed an aircraft designed to fly faster than the speed of sound, without an audible sonic boom hitting the ground. The question is no longer whether supersonic flights will ...

Experts say today’s supersonic jets will face similar challenges. Flying close to the speed of sound changes the aerodynamics required of an aircraft, says Raymond Speth, associate director of ...

the more detrimental effect it can have on the speed of an aircraft. In a sense, then, the maximum speed of a supersonic plane is partially determined by how aerodynamic it is. Careful design of ...

The jet's aerodynamics are based off thousands of ... safe and stable operation at takeoff and landing with efficiency at supersonic speeds." The jet is also made almost entirely from carbon ...

Digitally optimized aerodynamics that allow the aircraft to remain stable at both supersonic and subsonic speeds, Carbon composite materials for construction of the aircraft, and Bespoke ...

an aircraft exerts a pressure disturbance that travels forward at the speed of sound, parting the air ahead so that it will flow relatively smoothly around the plane. Supersonic planes produce the ...

The XB-1 is a one-third-sized proof-of-concept meant to demonstrate the aerodynamics involved in Overture, the company’s proposed commercial supersonic jet. Overture is ultimately intended to ...

The demonstrator aircraft "leverages state-of-the-art technologies to enable efficient supersonic flight including digitally-optimized aerodynamics, carbon fiber composites, advanced supersonic ...

Hermeus on May 27 said its Quarterhorse Mk 1 unmanned aircraft successfully flew for the first time, a key milestone on the ...
