NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) tested a model of the X-59 experimental aircraft in a supersonic ...

Supersonic tunnel trials suggest the X-59’s shape can scatter shock waves, paving the way for hush-hush high-speed flight.

NASA researchers have been using a tiny aircraft dubbed “Son of Concorde” in trials to assess the impact of supersonic ...

Researchers from NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) recently tested a scale model of the X-59 ...

American space agency NASA sent a 19-inch scale version of the X-59 experimental aircraft to a Japanese wind tunnel for ...

Witness NASA and JAXA’s 19-inch X-59 scale model hit Mach 1.4 (925 mph) in Tokyo’s wind tunnel as researchers chase a quieter sonic thump.

The performance of a "quiet" wind tunnel is measured by its maximum Reynolds number, a combination of factors such as cross sectional area of the tunnel, air speed through it, and air density. The new ...

A 1.2% scale model of SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy rocket underwent NASA wind tunnel testing, during which high-speed forced ...

A model simulating a life-size supersonic jet under development by Boom Technology in Centennial. The model aircraft went through the wind-tunnel test at the National Institute for Aviation ...

NASA Ames scientists showed off advancements on the Space Launch System (SLS) made using the supersonic wind tunnel, one of several wind tunnels at the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel complex.

Originally, the 85-ft by 220-ft MTDC space was home to a supersonic wind tunnel commissioned in 1945 and operated by Caltech as a testing facility for aerospace manufacturers. In 1953, it became a ...
