Saturday, 13 January 2024 NASA and Lockheed Martin have unveiled the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft, a major achievement in aviation. The experimental plane is part of NASA's Quesst mission to challenge the ban on commercial supersonic flights over land due to sonic booms. The X-59, designed to reduce noise with its unique shape, is set to undergo testing, with the first flight scheduled for later this year. The collaboration between NASA and Lockheed Martin aims to shape the future of supersonic travel.
NASA and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works recently unveiled the X-59 experimental aircraft, designed and built to reduce a loud sonic boom, associated with faster-than-sound flight, to a quiet sonic thump. The X-59 now moves closer to its first flight — - a step toward making commercial supersonic...
