NASA and Lockheed Martin have been X-59 supersonic airliner working on it. X-59 was developed for “ultra-quiet” supersonic flight; ten years old Quesst mission constitutes an important part. The aircraft is planned to be officially unveiled next week.
NASA and Lockheed Martin X-59 supersonic plane leaves the hangar
The supersonic aircraft will roll out of the hangar at Edwards Air Force Base in California on January 12. 30 meters long and Mach 1.4 The most important feature of the X-59, which has a high speed, is that it does not cause an explosion when flying at supersonic speed.
Lockheed Martin and NASA Skunk Works Prepared by X-59, it will take the first step towards flight tests in the coming months. In the first stage, the aircraft’s performance and silent supersonic technologies will be evaluated.
The new flight date of the first Turkish astronaut has been announced!
The first Turkish astronaut Alper Gezeravcı goes to space. It will be launched to the Space Station with a SpaceX rocket. Here are the details.
Later, data will be collected on citizens’ reactions to supersonic explosions through tests to be carried out in some cities in the USA. It was designed to create “a soft noise rather than a loud sonic boom,” according to NASA’s statement.
It first started commercial flights in the 1970s. concordeHe had traveled above the speed of sound for nearly 30 years. However, the old supersonic aircraft was retired in 2003 due to noise problems.
NASA, on the other hand, thinks that the X-59 program will allow civilian supersonic air travel for the first time. The aircraft’s entry into service represents an important step towards this goal. By making the sudden noise quieter, the X-59 can prevent the noise pollution caused by these aircraft.
