The X-54A was reported as being developed by Gulfstream Aerospace and is intended to be powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay turbofan engines. [1] The X-54A may be connected to Gulfstream's "Sonic Whisper" program, trademarked in 2005 as an aircraft design to "reduce boom intensities during supersonic flight"; [9] besides Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin and Boeing have also produced viable designs for ...
The Boom XB-1 "Baby Boom" is a one-third-scale trijet supersonic demonstrator designed by Boom Technology as part of the development of the Boom Overture supersonic transport airliner. Powered by three General Electric J85 engines, [ 2 ] it is designed to maintain a speed of Mach 2.2, with over 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) of range.
The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"), sometimes styled QueSST, is an American experimental supersonic aircraft under development by Skunk Works for NASA's Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project. [2] Preliminary design started in February 2016, with the X-59 planned to begin flight testing in 2021.
Almost 22 years after Concorde made its final commercial flights, a prototype passenger jet has broken the sound barrier during a supersonic test flight. Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 aircraft climbed ...
Boom Supersonic's XB-1 test jet broke the sound barrier for the first time on Tuesday. The XB-1 is a subscale version of its planned passenger model. The company's CEO says the US aviation market ...
Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 aircraft broke the sound barrier for the first time ever on Tuesday, ushering in a new era of supersonic flight. The jet exceeded Mach 1 after taking off from the Mojave ...
Aerion Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Reno, Nevada.It was founded by Robert Bass of Fort Worth. [2]From 2004 until 2021, the company was developing a 10-passenger supersonic jet to cut transatlantic flights by three hours, using "boomless cruise" technology to negate the sonic boom.
Because of sonic boom intensity, many countries now prohibit supersonic overflight over land or population centres. The FAA prohibits supersonic flight over land, except in special military flight corridors. The Quiet Spike is able to suppress sonic booms somewhat, but a Quiet Spike alone is not effective enough to circumvent the current ban on ...
