We just learned how to stop planes from shaking themselves to pieces at five times the speed of sound.
Texas A&M’s BOLT program successfully ends a decade-long quest to tame ultra-fast flight… Over 400 sensors on a rocket lab captured rare data on air turbulence at extreme speeds… The findings allow engineers to design lighter, more efficient hypersonic vehicles… Researchers claim they can now “predict the transition” from smooth to turbulent flow… Breakthrough paves …
