The existence of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder offers an interesting bit of irony, as least to my mind. Originally the Seattle SuperSonics, a name inspired by Boeing’s supersonic transport project a ...

Onboard my first plane in well over a year, since the start of the pandemic, I settle into seat 20F of United Airlines 1450, nonstop Newark to Denver on a twin-engine Boeing 737-900. There’s a ...

Aero-optical effects arise when variations in the refractive index—prompted by turbulence, temperature gradients and pressure fluctuations within high-speed airflow—distort the transmission of light.

(Reuters) - Reviving supersonic passenger flights will harm the environment as the jets will not likely be able to comply with existing fuel efficiency, pollution and noise standards for subsonic ...

Textron subsidiary Airborne Tactical Advantage Co. has received a potential five-year, $554.4 million contract from the U.S. Navy to provide Type III high subsonic and Type IV supersonic aircraft for ...

Recently TAS published my article, “Mach Miracles: The Joy of Commercial Supersonic Flight.” Therein I speculated as to when such service might return. A new announcement by Boom Supersonic, as ...
