In 1947, Chuck Yeager strapped himself into the experimental Bell X-1 “bullet with wings” and broke the sound barrier 8 miles above the Mojave Desert in Southern California. Larsen sees himself as following squarely in Yeager’s footsteps. To become the fastest sailor in the world, he’s ...
Due to the changes in air flow across an aircraft’s wings as a plane approaches the sound barrier, most aircraft would experience buffeting, and a loss of control along and total loss of lifting forces. This change in flight characteristics that results in this loss of control is known as...
Aeronautics was progressing in leaps and bounds, new fighters were breaking the sound barrier and mounting much more sophisticated radar systems, far better than the then archaic APQ 35. The squadron that had made a name with the Skyknight, VMA-513, dropped its ‘Night’ suffix when it ...
Boom Supersonic’s X-B1 Plane Breaks Sound Barrier, Bringing Supersonic Travel Closer to Reality The aerospace company put its technology to the test today, breaking the sound barrier and reviving the dream of supersonic commercial flight. ...
"The reimagination of the Flight Test Museum coincides with the rise of commercial space exploration and the 75th anniversary of the breaking of the sound barrier," explained Gensler. "Antelope Valley has seen milestones like testing America's first jet, rocket plane flights to the edge of space...
The entire “plane” performs the impossible feat of melting into the face of the tower without any breaking or deforming. There is also no wake vortex after the explosion. The plane has an unreal appearance. The lighting and proportions of the plane are unreal. The plane has no strobe ...
It turns out that even the roller-blind shutter’s greatest trump card, its capacity for record-breaking speeds, comes with a caveat. Namely, shutters of this type cannot sync with flashes at all of their speeds. In fact, flash sync is heavily restricted on such designs due to an inherent...
"The only way for you to see sun during the flight would be for pilot to bank the plane 20 to 30 degrees — which he's probably not going to do," Rao said. Get the Space.com Newsletter Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more! Contact...
