So there was ample incentive four years ago for Whitcomb and a team of NASA engineers at the Langley Research Center in Virginia to turn from the investigation of supersonic wing design to the ...

Sierra Space and Radian are developing spaceplanes that fly at hypersonic speeds, but are able to head into Low Earth Orbit ...

For supersonic flight, the nose was hydraulically lifted, streamlining the plane's shape and allowing it to efficiently pierce the air. It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that ...

Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl explained to Business ... Overture kept Concorde's Delta-wing design that minimizes aerodynamic "wave drag" at high speeds — meaning the basic airframes look ...

A number of companies worldwide have been working on the design and development of supersonic business jets (SSBJ). These jets are intended to tran ...
