To achieve supersonic speed, the airframe must withstand adverse aerodynamic effects due to the transonic aerodynamic effects ...

America’s first supersonic interceptor, the Convair F-102, struggled with drag and systems woes, never fully achieving its ...

Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 technology demonstrator probed deeper into the transonic speed regime during its ninth test flight from Mojave Air & Space Port, California, on Dec. 13, paving the way for ...

During its 10th test-flight at Mojave Air & Space Port, XB-1 reached speeds of Mach 0.95 – considered “transonic” speed, or the transitional speed between subsonic and supersonic flight.

As it closed out 2024, Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator aircraft reached transonic speeds in its 10th test flight from the ...

At Mach 1, the prototype could fly at the speed of sound ... Mach 0.82 represents the lowest end of what is known as “transonic regime,” which ranges from Mach 0.82 to Mach 1.2. Transonic ...

In the department of High Speed Configurations, we investigate the aerodynamics of aircraft and missiles at transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flight speeds. We develop know-how and innovative ...

trying to reach the speed of sound, these air molecules are crashing into each other, they have to get out of the way. So it creates this pressure wave. As it goes out of the transonic phase ...
