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.

The wings of SUGAR Volt would enable it to take off in a shorter distance and generate less noise. The outer wings of the SUGAR Volt should fold to save ground space, increasing weight. Transonic truss-braced wing
Proved aerodynamic viability of thin wing sections. [10] X-1A X-1B X-1C X-1D: Bell USAF, NACA 1951 High-speed and high-altitude flight X-1E: Bell USAF, NACA 1955 High-speed and high-altitude flight X-2: Bell USAF 1952 High-speed and high-altitude flight First aircraft to exceed Mach 3. [11] X-3 Stiletto: Douglas: USAF, NACA 1952 Highly loaded ...
It’s called the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing concept, which relies on elongated, thin wings stabilized by diagonal struts that connect the wings to the aircraft. The design’s shape creates less ...
In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
Transonic (or transsonic) flow is air flowing around an object at a speed that generates regions of both subsonic and supersonic airflow around that object. [1] The exact range of speeds depends on the object's critical Mach number, but transonic flow is seen at flight speeds close to the speed of sound (343 m/s at sea level), typically between Mach 0.8 and 1.2.
During Kristie and Bobby Mihelich's wedding ceremony on April 22, 2022, their then-2-year-old son, Pierson, had the sweetest reaction to seeing his mom as the bride.
A top Federal Reserve official said Monday that he is leaning toward supporting an interest rate cut when the Fed meets in two weeks but that evidence of persistent inflation before then could ...
