A ban on continental supersonic flight has been in place since the 1970s, to ensure nobody endures the noisy sonic booms left in their wake. Aeronautic engineering has come a long way since then, ...

NASA’S “Son of Concorde” jet that could fly from the UK to New York in four hours has smashed through the sound barrier without triggering the usual sonic boom. The experimental ...

More than two decades since the Concorde supersonic airliner last took to the skies, NASA has been flying an experimental aircraft designed to replace loud sonic booms with a quieter thump equivalent ...

Supersonic airliner startup Boom Technologies has launched an $800,000 prize for the first U.S. amateur team to fly a remotely piloted, air-breathing aircraft above Mach 1 in level flight twice in one ...

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 supersonic flight this month.

Some may already be familiar with the sonic boom that accompanies a break to the sound barrier, but when and why would ...

A long-standing ban on commercial supersonic flights over the United States would be overturned in a new rule proposed by the ...
