x-59

The collaborative effort between NASA and Lockheed Martin has marked a significant milestone with the inaugural flight of the X-59 QueSST aircraft, an experimental platform engineered to mitigate the disruptive sonic booms associated with supersonic flight.

The first supersonic aircraft engine to run on sustainable fuel

Boom Supersonic’s Overture aims to revolutionize supersonic passenger travel with its new engine. The Overture aircraft, which was introduced a few years ago, aims to bring back supersonic travel similar to that of the Concorde, cutting the London to New York flight time to approximately three hours.
