NASA Prepares Future Supersonic Experimental Flight
Six decades of NASA’s supersonic research is leading the way into a new era of aviation. This research has resulted in cutting-edge technology and a unique aerodynamic design that will demonstrate the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound without creating a loud sonic boom. Continue reading
Convair 990A Coronado – World’s Fastest Subsonic Airliner
Before Concorde defined what it meant to fly fast, there was another airliner that tried to push the speed of air travel. With outside the box engineering, the Convair 990A cruised faster than any airliner before it. The Convair 990A is still the fastest non-supersonic commercial transport to have ever been produced. Continue reading

NASA – Integrating Unmanned Aircraft with Manned Aircraft in the National Airspace
NASA has been leading efforts designed to help integrate unmanned aircraft into the world around us. On June 12, NASA completed a major program milestone by successfully demonstrating the maturity of Detect and Avoid (DAA) technology by flying an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) out in the National Airspace System (NAS). Continue reading
Why You Wouldn’t Want to Fly on the Soviet Concorde
While the Concorde is often hailed as a triumph of modern engineering, the first supersonic transport to ever fly was actually Soviet-built. The Tupolev TU-144 flew even faster than the Concorde and it carried more passengers. What happened to this aircraft and why have so few heard about it? Continue reading
