California has played a central role in NASA's push to test its X-59 jet and usher in an era of commercial supersonic air travel. Here's what to know.

Generally speaking, when an aircraft goes supersonic, everybody around it knows it, as the sonic boom it generates when breaking through the sound barrier makes no secret of what is going on. Could ...

Together, the adaptive control algorithm and pressure reconstruction enable morphAIR to truly “feel” and “think” about how it is flying. That's as close to real bird adaptability as aircraft wings ...

Cross-country travel could one day look very different if NASA’s newest experimental aircraft lives up to its promise as its prepares to make history in the California desert.
