The robot equipped with the robotic skin was able to navigate a model of the interior of a jet engine.

NASA's experimental X-43A didn't have a pilot and couldn't fly independently, but its blisteringly high speeds showed that ...

"This test confirmed that all components — software, mechanical linkages, and control laws — work together as intended." NASA's new X-59 supersonic jet is a step closer to flight after passing an ...

Boeing designers have begun work on a new commercial jet to replace its venerable Renton-built 737 model, The Wall Street Journal reported late Monday.
