China’s Comac is aiming to redefine supersonic travel with its C949 airliner, a 1.6-Mach design promising greater range and ...

For supersonic flight, the nose was hydraulically lifted, streamlining the plane's shape and allowing it to efficiently pierce the air. It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that ...

Fundamentals of subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics. Atmosphere models, air-speed measurement, and aerodynamic heating. Circulation, downwash, and three-dimensional wing theory. Airfoil data, and ...

“The advent of digital engineering is a huge enabler for why supersonic flight’s coming back,” Scholl told CNN in 2024. “Aerodynamics, materials, propulsion: Those are the big three areas ...

The jet's aerodynamics are based off thousands of ... safe and stable operation at takeoff and landing with efficiency at supersonic speeds." The jet is also made almost entirely from carbon ...

This course will provide an introduction to aerodynamics and is of relevance to students interested in the aerospace concentration. Topics will include: subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows, and ...

Historically, supersonic aircraft have been the work ... under increasingly challenging conditions to evaluate systems and aerodynamics. Over the course of the flight test campaign, the XB-1 ...
