NASA's recently-retired SOFIA airborne observatory aircraft, the "flying telescope," also called Plant 42 home. The agency's ...

US startup Boom Supersonic is developing a Mach 2.2 airplane that’s more than twice as fast as today’s commercial jets. But the long-term goal, its CEO tells CNN, is to “fly anywhere in the ...

NASA scientists are advancing supersonic parachutes with advanced sensors to make it more reliable and safer at delivering ...

Experiments in Fluids (2019). [4] Numerical Investigation of the Robustness of an Axisymmetric Separating/Reattaching Flow to an External Perturbation Using ZDES. Flow, Turbulence and Combustion ...

When integrated with supersonic flow dynamics—where fluid velocities surpass the speed of sound—these discharges interact with shock waves, turbulent structures and boundary layers.

A close look at air flow around high-speed shapes reveals surprising turbulence, according to a new study. The findings, published March 7 in the journal Physical Review Fluids, could inform the ...

In previous tests with a 10%-scale HIFEX weapons bay, Boeing evaluated different types of flow-control actuator, including powered resonance tubes, a jet screen and the supersonic microjets.

Boom’s XB-1 test craft has flown at supersonic speeds for a second time following its first flight last month, and this time nobody heard a thing. Microphones below the flight path confirmed no ...

Experimental studies of supersonic flow over a 28° compression ramp were carried out in a Mach 3.0 wind tunnel; the incoming boundary layer was turbulent flow. Fine flow structures were visualized via ...
