ECN-792 Viewed from the front the #1 XB-70A 62-0001 is shown climbing out during take-off. Most flights were scheduled during the morning hours to take advantage of the cooler ambient air temperatures for improved propulsion efficiencies. The wing tips are extended straight out to provide a maximum lifting wing surface.The XB-70A, capable of flying three times the speed of sound, was the world's largest experimental aircraft in the 1960s. Two XB-70A aircraft were built. Ship #1 was flown by NASA in a high speed flight research program. August 17,1965 NASA Photo

The supersonic plane that was faster than Concorde

Five years before Concorde’s first flight, another majestic supersonic aircraft took to the skies — and almost became the inspiration for an even faster passenger plane.

The world’s smallest flag carrier airlines

With fleet sizes of no more than three, these airlines are the world’s tiniest flag carriers, representing their countries in international skies.

The Airbus A340 airplane was built to rule long-haul travel. Now it’s vanishing from the skies

While the A380 superjumbo is enjoying a resurgence, its four-engined older sibling – the A340 – seems dangerously close to being grounded for good.

Worried about how safe it is to fly? Here’s what the experts have to say

It’s already a bad year for aviation safety with a runway collision in Tokyo and a 737 Max 9 midair door plug blowout in the US. So is flying getting any riskier?

Earth’s moon is shrinking. Here’s what scientists say that could mean

A region of the moon at the center of a new international space race is prone to “moonquakes,” potentially posing a threat to future human settlers, a new study says.

An image taken by the Lunar Excursion Vehicle 2 shows Japan's SLIM spacecraft on the moon. The “Moon Sniper” robotic explorer landed 180 feet (55 meters) shy of its target.

What you should know about the moon area where Japan’s lander touched down

If Japan’s “Moon Sniper” is able to restore power, it could collect unprecedented information from surface craters in a lunar region south of where Apollo 11 landed.

NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft sits on the ramp at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California during sunrise, shortly after completion of painting. With its unique design, including a 38-foot-long nose, the X-59 was built to demonstrate the ability to fly supersonic, or faster than the speed of sound, while reducing the typically loud sonic boom produced by aircraft at such speeds to a quieter sonic "thump". The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA's Quesst mission, which seeks to solve one of the major barriers to supersonic flight over land, currently banned in the United States, by making sonic booms quieter.

Sonic booms are part of the reason why supersonic passenger planes don’t fly today. Now, NASA is working to transform the boom into a “thump,” paving the way for a new generation of quieter supersonic aircraft.
