The revolutionary supercritical wing design was conceived by renowned aeronautical engineer Dr. Richard Whitcomb in the 1960s, and was tested on the Vought F-8A Crusader, shown in this 1972 photo!

Taking a moment this #LaborDay to show appreciation for the out-of-this-world efforts of all those who work tirelessly to reach the stars and beyond.

Trinesha Dixon is a NASA STEM program analyst at NASA's Johnson Space Center, where she works to empower interns and colleagues to learn and…

This #LaborDay , we thank @NASAPeople who make up a diverse workforce of civil servants, U.S. contractors, academia, and commercial partners working together to explore, discover, and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity.

One of NASA’s greatest contributions to aviation is an unusual upside-down airfoil AKA, the supercritical wing✈️ It gets airliners to places faster+on less fuel, helping keep cost down of passenger tickets. It's used on Boeing’s 787, Airbus A350, & others. go.nasa.gov/3qWBJkZ

Jet engines are loud, but they used to be much louder.

For decades, aeronautical researchers have been working to reduce aircraft noise. Learn how testing & development of quieter jet engines at NASA's Glenn Research Center has evolved over the years: go.nasa.gov/45Y6dSB

Students, families, businesses, aviation lovers of all ages—this is for YOU! Join us for NASA Aviation Day—a FREE event where you can: see NASA aircraft, meet NASA Aeronautics experts, and learn about our work to revolutionize air travel to benefit YOU. Details: go.nasa.gov/3qSbwnI

See the future of flight at NASA Aviation Day! The public is invited to this free event on Sept. 13, 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM at the I-X Center in Cleveland. We'll showcase aviation projects to make future air travel cleaner, safer, and more efficient.✈️ Details: facebook.com/events/1364847…

We're headed to the Cleveland National Air Show September 2-4. Are you attending? If so, stop and see us in the #NASA tent. We can't wait to share updates on our work to advance aviation. Plus, we'll have some virtual reality demos and a flight simulator! #LaborDay2023 NASA GVIS Lab

Los proyectos de @nasaaero incluyen trabajo en automatización, ruido, diseño de vehículos, y mas!
En este episodio explicamos cómo la NASA está trabajando para trazar, lo que seria como carreteras en el cielo, para el futuro espacio aéreo. go.nasa.gov/3Ei7hoo

We’re hiring our next Director of Research Services at NASA Langley Research Center! You'll coordinate flight, simulation research, and development activities to help advance our ability to fly from point to point on demand. Learn more and apply by 9/25: go.nasa.gov/3OS6QGs

NASA Armstrong Supports Wind Study 💨 🚁

A NASA flight campaign aims to enable drones to land safely on rooftop hubs called vertiports for future delivery of people and goods. The campaign may also lead to improvements in weather prediction.

Flying from New York City to London up to four times faster than what’s currently possible may sound like a far-off dream, but new NASA studies are already exploring whether the commercial market could support travel at #supersonic speeds: go.nasa.gov/3KNywLe

Our next X-Plane is underway! ✈️🍃 Recently, The Boeing Company flew an MD-90 airplane to its facility in Palmdale, CA, where conversion to the X-66A experimental aircraft will begin. Key modifications will include replacing its wings with a new thinner+longer pair. go.nasa.gov/3YUIDnz

The first person to fly beyond the Kármán line twice flew an X-15!

Joe Walker reached an altitude of 67.1 mi (108 km) in the X-15 #OTD in 1966, the highest ever reached by this craft. NASA Armstrong NASA Aeronautics

Imagine heading #BacktoSchool and instead of a bus, you're picked up by a flying vehicle.🚁

This will be an option in the not-too-distant future! In fact, there are many innovative concepts being worked on right now by NASA Aeronautics that will impact the future of aerospace.
