NASA's X-59 jet is on the verge of finally breaking the sound barrier as the agency looks forward to the aircraft's first ...

NASA’s X-59 is quietly reaching significant milestones.

The United States banned supersonic flights over its land in 1973 due to their ear-splitting sonic booms. Experts are building a plane that should travel at those speeds but create only gentle thumps ...

NASA’s experimental X-59 aircraft has officially gone supersonic for the first time, marking a major milestone in the ...

Congress is expected to review legislation that could lift the 52-year FAA ban on commercial supersonic flight over land, a development closely watched by the NFL due to its potential to enable ...

NASA’s X-59 aircraft has finally flown faster than the speed of sound, bringing us one step closer to supersonic flight without the loud, thunder-like clap noise that comes with it. The experimental ...

Traveling at the speed of sound may actually be on the horizon. NASA’s supersonic aircraft, dubbed “son of Concorde” after ...

NASA is getting ready to go supersonic. The U.S. space agency's experimental X-59 jet designed to eventually travel faster than the speed of sound is preparing for its second flight from California.

NASA's experimental aircraft X-59 has flown faster than sound for the first time. It is a flying testbed for quiet supersonic flights.

Sonic boom restrictions limited Concorde to transatlantic flights, reducing its route flexibility and revenue potential.
