For decades, supersonic commercial airline flight has been banned over land by global aviation law because of the problems the sonic ... Boom plans to initially operate Overture at Mach 0.94 ...

Chinese aerospace giant Comac has unveiled its plans for the C949, a supersonic aircraft designed to fly 50% farther than the Concorde and produce sonic ... a “low boom” mode at Mach 1.6 ...

A secretive space plane returned to Earth on Sunday with a sonic boom. The U.S. Air Force's unmanned, reusable vehicle landed at NASA's Kennedy Space Center after spending a record 718 days in space.

In the study, researchers used three-dimensional simulations to reveal unexpected disturbances around fast-moving cones. At hypersonic speeds — above Mach 5, or more than 5 times the speed of ...

The aircraft, detailed in blueprints in a recent academic paper, is meant to reach Mach 1.6 and have a barely audible sonic boom when the project comes to fruition, according to the outlet.

BOOM SUPERSONIC SAYS XB-1 AIRCRAFT FLEW OVER MACH 1 WITH NO AUDIBLE SONIC BOOM ON THE GROUND BELOW The aircraft, detailed in blueprints in a recent academic paper, is meant to reach Mach 1.6 and ...

At Mach 16, they observed breaks in the flow within the shock layers, near the cone’s tip, where air molecules become more viscous. Interestingly, these breaks were absent at Mach 6 ...

These discoveries could transform the design of ultra-fast vehicles. Researchers at the University of Illinois used supercomputers to model flows at Mach 16 around cones. Their simulations revealed ...
