🇺🇸 NASA AND LOCKHEED TEST SUPERSONIC JET THAT DOESN'T GO BOOM NASA and Lockheed Martin just flew a supersonic jet designed to make only a "gentle thump" instead of the terrifying sonic boom that's banned commercial supersonic travel over land since the 1940s. The X-59 test flight over California could eventually cut NYC to LA travel time in half. Supersonic flight has existed since 1947, but the explosive noise rattled windows and freaked people out, so it was banned over US land. The Concorde did transatlantic flights until a 2003 crash killed the service. If this quiet jet works, supersonic commercial travel could finally return. Source: Associated Press

Whenever you see an F-35B on a routine Vertical take-off, remember we came a long (and painful) trek of testing and development to reach the standards of readiness that we have today... June 10 1964: a prototype XV-4, an experimental VTOL jet, crashes in Georgia (US), test pilot William J. Ingram dies. Control was lost after the aircraft transitioned from conventional to vertical flight. Reportedly, the pilot chose not to eject so he could fly the stricken jet away from a residential area. The airman lost in the accident was an Army civil test pilot, William J. Ingram, aged 43. (Even though the XV-4 was an experimental type – built by Lockheed - at the time of the accident, it was operated by the US Army) The XV-4 - officially named “Hummingbird” - was part of a US Army project in the feasibility of a VTOL jet in surveillance operations, using target-acquisition and sensory equipment. Only two prototypes were built, and both were lost in accidents. (This one was registered as “62-4503”) Video - Amazing Info TV

🚨BREAKING: A Spirit Airlines flight had a bomb threat. A passenger on the plane sent me these videos. She said a lady made a bomb threat during the flight.Apparently about 2/3 of the way through the flight a flight attendant told the woman to get the fuck off of it and they moved her to the front where the FA stand and sat her there for the rest of the flight? They pulled our flight away from the airport for a while before we knew what was going on the the pilot annouced the DOD was coming on to the plane and would be conducted interviews.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. MILITARY AIRLIFT ARRIVES AT RAF FAIRFORD Live pictures show a U.S. Air Force C-17 heavy transport aircraft landing at RAF Fairford, the strategic American-operated base in Gloucestershire. The massive aircraft — capable of carrying troops, vehicles, and large quantities of munitions — appears to be part of the growing U.S. military build-up connected to operations in the Middle East. Aviation sources say the aircraft arrived from Joint Base McGuire in the United States, highlighting the scale and logistical reach of the American operation. RAF Fairford has now become a key hub for U.S. air operations after the British government belatedly allowed American forces to use UK bases following the outbreak of the conflict. For the first 48 hours of the crisis, the UK government had refused permission for U.S. forces to use British bases — forcing American aircraft to fly extremely long missions directly from the United States. Tonight’s arrival signals something clear: The logistical machine behind this operation is now fully moving into place.

🇺🇸 NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic jet just completed its first “wheels-up” flight! The sleek new aircraft showed off its streamlined design, built specifically to turn the traditional deafening sonic boom into nothing more than a quiet thump. This is a huge step toward bringing back supersonic flight over land. If the X-59 works as planned, we could one day fly from New York to London in half the time without rattling windows below. The future of fast travel just got a lot quieter. Source: NASA Aeronautics

This video shows an extraordinary coincidence in aviation history..... One of the Concorde's final flights was captured unintentionally, without planning or ceremony - just a camera in the right place at the right time. As the supersonic jet passes through the frame, it represents the closing chapter of an era when commercial air travel briefly defied the limits of speed. Today, Concorde exists only in museums and memories, making moments like this even more powerful. When Concorde made its first commercial departure from Heathrow on January 21, 1976, it was a moment that captured global imagination. Born of Anglo-French collaboration, the sleek white jet embodied not only technical genius but also a shared vision of progress in an era still buzzing with the optimism of the Space Age. Its distinctive droop-nose design, developed to aid visibility during takeoff and landing, became an icon in itself, while its ability to soar at 60,000 feet allowed passengers to glimpse the curvature of the Earth. This blend of aesthetics and performance made Concorde unlike any other aircraft of its time. The Concorde, a supersonic passenger jet that was a joint Anglo-French project. It was renowned for being the first passenger plane to fly faster than the speed of sound, reaching speeds of Mach 2.04 (over twice the speed of sound). Concorde significantly reduced transatlantic flight times, making the journey between London/Paris and New York possible in about three hours. It was in service from 1976 to 2003, primarily flying routes between London, Paris, New York, and Barbados. Developed through a collaboration between British Aerospace and Aérospatiale for the airframe, and Rolls-Royce and SNECMA for engines, Concorde was considered a technological masterpiece. After a fatal crash in 2000 and declining passenger numbers, the remaining planes ceased flights in 2003. The drama of takeoff was unforgettable. Heathrow’s runways would tremble under the roar of its Olympus 593 turbojet engines, a sound so powerful it echoed across West London. Residents and aviation enthusiasts alike would pause to watch the jet thunder down the runway, trailing a streak of heat and sound before lifting sharply into the sky. For the privileged few onboard, the experience was no less thrilling—menus boasted fine wines and gourmet cuisine, while the cabin hummed with the quiet exclusivity of royalty, business magnates, and celebrities en route to New York or Paris in less than half the usual time. Though Concorde’s era ended in October 2003, its legacy remains deeply tied to Heathrow. For nearly three decades, it was both a marvel and a symbol of human ingenuity, demonstrating what was possible when engineering ambition met cultural aspiration. Today, preserved Concorde aircraft at museums around the world remind visitors of an age when the boundaries of speed and style were pushed to new horizons, and every takeoff from Heathrow carried with it the promise of the extraordinary. © Reddit #archaeohistories

AIRBUS A320 FIRST FLIGHT ANNIVERSARY On this day, 22 February 1987, the first Airbus A320 — MSN 001 (F-WWAI) — took to the skies from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport for its 3.5-hour maiden flight. Unveiled just days earlier on 14 February 1987 in Toulouse, the A320-100 prototype was powered by CFM56-5 engines and became the first commercial airliner with fully digital fly-by-wire controls and sidesticks — a revolutionary advance in cockpit design. It received its type certificate on 28 February 1988, and by April 1988 Air France and British Airways had begun regular operations. Fast forward 39 years, and the A320 family has officially surpassed the Boeing 737 as the most-produced commercial jet in history.

NEW: President Trump has signed an executive order to scrap regulations that ban supersonic commercial air travel. The supersonic flight regulation was imposed in 1973 due to noise concerns. Trump's order "seeks to revolutionize supersonic aviation in the United States" by letting aircraft fly faster than the speed of sound. "The US used to be the global leader in this technology, but stifling regulations have grounded progress for generations," said director of the WH Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios. "The reality is that Americans should be able to fly from New York to LA in under four hours." More from the White House: - This Order removes regulatory barriers so that U.S. companies can dominate supersonic flight once again. - The Order directs the FAA to repeal the prohibition on overland supersonic flight, establish an interim noise-based certification standard, and repeal other regulations that hinder supersonic flight. - The Order instructs the FAA Administrator to establish a standard for supersonic aircraft noise certification that considers community acceptability, economic reasonableness, and technological feasibility. - The Order advances the coordination of supersonic research, development, test and evaluation efforts through the National Science and Technology Council with leadership from the Office of Science and Technology Policy. - It promotes international engagement through the FAA and other agencies to align global supersonic flight regulations and secure bilateral agreements for international operations. The following video is a collaboration between Boom Supersonic and United Airlines, showing what the future could look like with supersonic flights.

#WATCH | #AirIndiaPlaneCrash | Mumbai | Akash Vatsa, who claimed in a viral tweet yesterday that he flew in the same Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Delhi to Ahmedabad, hours before it crashed soon after take off while flying as Air India flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London, spoke exclusively to ANI. He said, "... I did not witness any issues when the flight took off. I felt something was unusual with the plane's flaps outside. Experts will be able to decode this better... The ACs were not working properly when the flight was on the ground before taking off... At cruising altitude, I noticed that the rear part of the flaps was moving up and down repeatedly. However, many aviation experts have pointed out that it is normal for the ACs to be off to give the plane a better thrust. I tried to complain about it, but the crew was in a rush because the flight was almost ready for take off... Even after the AC was switched on, its temperature kept fluctuating... Even when we got on the shuttle bus after the flight, many other passengers exclaimed that the bus's AC was working better than the flight's."

One of the first aircraft to use electrical flight controls with no mechanical linkages, the Balzac 001 was an experimental VTOL aircraft developed by Dassault in the early 1960s. Built as a technology demonstrator for the planned Mirage IIIV supersonic fighter, it was powered by eight Rolls-Royce RB.108 lift engines and a single Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet. The aircraft achieved its first free flight in October 1962 and completed the first full transition from vertical takeoff to horizontal flight in March 1963 but was destroyed in an accident the following year.

America's Concorde. The Lockheed L-2000 was America's Mach 3 supersonic jet project from the 60s, built to carry 250 passengers across the Atlantic at Mach 3 in 2 hours. The initial design called for a beefed-up turbofan derivative of the P&W J58 engines that had already been proven on the A-12 and subsequently on the SR-71—That would change in future evolutions. Unfortunately, It lost to Boeing's design, and sadly both got axed in '71 over costs and eco issues.👀
