The interaction of shock waves from two supersonic aircraft, photographed for the first time by NASA using the Schlieren method in 2019. A supersonic aircraft is an aircraft capable of supersonic flight, that is, flying faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1). Supersonic aircraft were developed in the second half of the twentieth century.
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.
A United States Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet in transonic flight U.S. Navy F/A-18 approaching the speed of sound. The white cloud forms as a result of the supersonic expansion fans dropping the air temperature below the dew point. [1] [2] Supersonic speed is the speed of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1).
Dawn Aerospace's rocket-powered aircraft successfully completed its first supersonic flight, the company said in a statement on Tuesday, as it moves forward with developing aircraft able to launch ...
A new study by NASA’s Glenn Research Center has looked at the possibility of supersonic passenger jets. Its “high-speed strategy” is mooting commercial flights that travel at up to Mach 4 ...
Now, NASA is working to transform the boom into a “thump,” paving the way for a new generation of quieter supersonic aircraft. X-59: NASA’s ‘quiet’ supersonic plane revealed Skip to main ...
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird holds the official Air Speed Record for a crewed airbreathing jet engine aircraft with a speed of 3,530 km/h (2,190 mph). The record was set on 28 July 1976 by Eldon W. Joersz and George T. Morgan Jr. near Beale Air Force Base, California, USA.
