Supersonic

Boom Supersonic is going all in on its Mach 2.2 supersonic airliner and plans to have a small-scale prototype flying this year.

Perini Navi continues to perfect the Maltese Falcon’s Falcon Rig sailing system for greater performance and lifestyle enjoyment.

The space agency is using F/A-18 fighter jets off the coast of Texas to simulate the sound of its quiet supersonic X-plane.

GE and Aerion reveal the engine that’ll power the supersonic AS2 to Mach 1.4 when it flies in 2023.

The low-boom aircraft could be certified to operate in areas where noise restrictions normally prevent supersonic flight.

Ultimately, the agency wants to prove the viability of the technology so it can be adopted by commercial manufacturers.

We look at audacious airborne concepts that might revolutionizes the way we get around . . . someday.
