A robust low-boom design method developed by Japanese researchers should make it easier to certify future quiet supersonic transports, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) says.
NASA has eyes on quieter supersonic aircraft. NASA as awarded Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company the Low-Boom Flight Demonstration Contract. Their task is to design an aircraft that will cruise ...
JAXA's target is to reduce the intensity of the sonic boom by 50%. The agency is planning to fly an uncrewed demonstrator vehicle, the Silent Supersonic Technology Demonstrator or S-Cube, up to ...
JAXA's D-SEND Project conducts another drop test on a supersonic aircraft to streamline its low sonic boom design to create quieter supersonic airplanes.
Sonic booms are created during supersonic flight when the shock waves produced by the aircraft merge into a single explosive, concussive sound.. How the Japanese plane accomplishes this goal ...
The idea behind the low-boom supersonic aircraft concepts is the minimization of the amplitude of longitudinal sound waves also called N-waves. One of the most cutting-edge supersonic aircraft ...
On-board LIDAR measurements will provide information about the local atmosphere and will aide in the prediction of how loud the sonic boom will be just ahead of the aircraft. Small, distributed shape ...
At the Paris Air Show, Boom announced that it had 76 orders for supersonic planes from five airlines, and that it planned to fly a demonstrator aircraft late next year.
We discussed Boom’s journey into developing the first commercial supersonic aircraft since Concorde, from its XB-1 demonstrator to its planned Overture airliner. Also, check out our latest merch ...
X-59's engine started for testing for the first time. NASA's Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology") mission recently reached a key milestone as it began testing the engine that will power the X-59 ...
If you've been keeping tabs on aviation news as of late, you saw that Boom Supersonic just recently broke the sound barrier with its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft. Oddly enough, no one on the ground ...
