Nations are sometimes willing to try out some wacky designs in the name of getting an edge on the enemy. These mini-aircraft ...

NASA’s X-43A was a small, unmanned experimental aircraft that, in 2004, shattered world records by flying at nearly Mach 10 (almost 7,000 mph), becoming the fastest air-breathing vehicle in history.

The X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport (QueSST), under construction by NASA, will feature a number of recycled parts from retired U.S. Air Force planes, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

But it could provide ideas for startups seeking to get into supersonic aircraft, and have applications for military jets as well. One of NASA's goals with the X-59 is to establish a standard for ...

NASA awarded the aerospace company Lockheed Martin, which also makes U.S. fighter jets, a $247.5 million contract to build the X-59 craft, and as the images below show, the plane is in its final ...

NASA is preparing for the first test flight of its X-57 Maxwell electric aircraft. Bill Nelson, NASA administrator, recently toured the Armstrong Flight Center to check on the project’s progress.

NASA is readying its experimental X-59 quiet supersonic transport jet for test flights, while Virgin Galactic also has unveiled plans for a new Mach 3 aircraft for supersonic passenger travel ...

A device invented by NASA experts is helping technicians detect wiring problems dramatically faster on aircraft, including those used by the U.S. military in Afghanistan. The portable Standing ...

The design that NASA and Boeing are working on could reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 30% compared with today’s most efficient aircraft, according to the agency.

Military aircraft regularly fly over Houston due to nearby bases, NASA and frequent training or rescue missions.

NASA today announced it will be working with Boeing on a new type of fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft for commercial use, with the aim to cut fuel emissions and reduce the climate impact of ...
