Anatomy of Concorde
It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that perform well at high speeds by minimizing "drag" don't have the "lift" needed for takeoff. The solution for Concorde was an elegant delta ...
Boom Vs Concorde Vs Tupolev: Supersonic Passenger Jets Compared
Similar to a delta wing, the Soviet-developed Tu-144 incorporated special retractable foreplanes (canards) to improve lift ...
The Concorde Of Private Aviation: Virgin Galactic's Private Jet
Virgin Galactic’s private jet represents a very bold step toward making supersonic travel a reality for an elite few. Unlike ...
Incredible NASA photo captures sound barrier being broken
A newly released image shows the sound barrier being broken on February 10 as Boom Supersonic’s XB-1, America’s first civil ...

A startup says it can fly supersonic without the noisy boom. Here's how its airliner would compare to the famous Concorde.
Passenger flights are expected to begin in 2029. Overture kept Concorde's Delta-wing design that minimizes aerodynamic "wave drag" at high speeds — meaning the basic airframes look similar.

Incredible NASA photo captures sound barrier being broken
“Aerodynamics, materials, propulsion: Those are the big three areas where we’ve made huge progress versus Concorde.” Back in the 1960s, Concorde was developed in wind tunnels, which meant ...
