NASA participated heavily in the design and testing of the XB-70 Valkyrie in the mid to late 1960s. NASA and the United States Air Force had a joint agreement to use the second XB–70A prototype for high–speed research flights in support of the proposed SST program. These plans went awry on June 8, 1966, when the second XB–70 crashed ...

The NASA X-57 Maxwell is an experimental aircraft being developed by NASA to demonstrate the technologies required to deliver a highly efficient all-electric aircraft. [142] The primary goal of the program is to develop and deliver all-electric technology solutions that can also achieve airworthiness certification with regulators.
Predecessors to OpenVSP including VSP [1] and Rapid Aircraft Modeler (RAM) were developed by J.R. Gloudemans and others [2] for NASA beginning in the early 1990s. [3] OpenVSP v2.0 was released as open source under the NOSA license in January 2012.
A model of the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft in a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center. By early 2019, following extensive wind tunnel testing at NASA Ames Research Center, an optimized truss and more sweep for the 170 ft (52 m) span wing allowed flying higher and faster, up from Mach 0.70–0.75 to Mach 0.80 like current jetliners.
