9 小时之前 · The company’s XB-1 demonstrator aircraft’s supersonic flight is the first time an independently developed jet has broken the sound barrier. The XB-1, which has now completed 12 successful test ...

A supersonic aircraft is an aircraft capable of supersonic flight, that is, flying faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1). Supersonic aircraft were developed in the second half of the twentieth century.

2024年12月19日 · These aircraft represent some of the most advanced and sophisticated examples of supersonic flight, with designs that push the boundaries of aerodynamics, materials science, and propulsion systems. 1. Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is a legendary supersonic plane that has been in service since the 1960s. With a top speed ...

2024年12月12日 · NASA is working with its partners to enable new choices for high-speed air travel, starting with commercial supersonic flight over land through the Quesst mission and the experimental X-59 airplane. Even faster flight some day through hypersonic technology is not impossible. Keep an eye on this page for updates about these topics.

Supersonic flight, passage through the air at speed greater than the local velocity of sound. The speed of sound (Mach 1) varies with atmospheric pressure and temperature: in air at a temperature of 15 °C (59 °F) and sea-level pressure, sound …
