Awesome Tips Exclusive look at NASA's low-boom supersonic plane
NASA and Lockheed Martin have reinvented aviation with the X-59 low-boom supersonic aircraft. And when it flies, they’re hoping you won’t even notice it.

I'm sad I never got to fly on Concorde (the '70s fashion in those ads was šš) but I would definitely want to fly on a supersonic jet! But would it be worth the ticket price?
You're kidding, before that came the X-3 STILETTO, the Lockheed F-104, a long-nosed F-5 Tiger 2 and other very long-nosed aircraft. And the idea is the same since more than 60 years ago.
So the government agency NASA is breaking the law to change the law? Imagine this concept if ppl could get away with it!
How nasa colo
How about using AI to design/build the plane?
No one will want to fly on it if it is an EV.
So how does one break the sound barrier without actually breaking the āsound barrierā ?
Lockheed Martin/NASA – yes
Should ask the brits they had a supersonic plane 50 years ago and you could get a meal or a glass of wine while going faster than sound.
I am curious: the sonic boom is spent energy, does reducing increase the top speed?
So after intense research, I feel like I saw this plane and another plane fly over my house in SETX a week ago at 6am. And I approve of it, craziest thing I've ever seen, it was so quiet. Even tho it wasn't going fast. Didn't hear anything until directly under it. Bc at night and lack of sight, it resembled the smoothness of a experienced drone flyer bc all we could see were lights. I've told everyone about it.
VERY BEAUTIFULL BUT IN MAY OPINION IF MAKE 1 OF THOSO PLANES WILL MAKE IT THIS ONE IS NOT YET MADE ANY PLANO BUT IF SOUD COME BACK LIKE AN ECKO WILL BE NICE CREATE 1. ECO OS ENERGY TOO WHERE IS IT EVERYWERE IN THE MONTAINS IN THE BATS MORCIELAGOS. IN THE SELPHINES IN YOUR SONIC CRAFT IN THENPIRAMISES IN THE THUNDER. IN XX CHILLI BEAN
The craft is forced to be a needle slim fragile infastructer, just so it's not a sound nuesen. What they needed was to creates a craft capable to fly above the stratosphere. Cooling turbines that can absorb micro air from wing/limb, lather transfer distributed to the front/tips of crafts, showering thick/cool atmosphere system. Offering high Orbitliner services.
I think one limitation will be how will the body be scaled up in size? I don't foresee this getting to be as big as a 200-person commercial jet but I feel like it will be viable for private jets where the cost limitations are less of a concern.
Early stages of what's known ad a ufo.
I mean,
That's cool to fly 1.4 times the speed of sound but making the existing plans faster a little bit will be great !
El Gobierno Chino estƔ viendo esto para copiƔrselo.
I once was flying from Salt Lake City northward, and another commercial plane passed the one I was in, much closer than the mile or so which is the required separation distance. I'm sure it was closer than 1000 feet, maybe no more than 700 feet. If you add the 500+ mph speeds of the two planes, the other plane (a continental airlines plane) and the one I was on, were moving apart at over 1100 mph, something like mach 1.5. There was no audible noise, but the speed was breathtaking. The other plane was there, and then it was gone. I wasn't frightened, my only thought was, "How beautiful.". At low altitudes, on a supersonic aircraft, you might get a similar effect of blinding speed.
It's so Beautiful š
Bunch of sound wussies!!!
I was responsible for changing one of the large lightbulbs in the warehouse
I need warp speed. Supersonic and Hypersonic is Childs play.
= to be a super sonic jet?
It looks soo heavy
Seems I recall concerns by environmentalists back in the day regarding exhaust emissions by these jets flying in the upper stratosphere, something to do with ozone layer damage. Anyway these things probably burn enough fossil fuel NY to UK, to drive a VW around the world 30 times.
Supersonic aircraft are junk…they will never get off the political ground due to thier massive fuel burn.
military fighter jets regurlaly break the sound barrier.
Also if I was running for President Iād love to give as much as 25-30 billion dollars each year!!! With hopes of at least ten to 15 billion would go more towards keeping our spot as the worlds #1 leaders in space!! Meaning Iād like to see our country be the first to land a man/woman on mars. As well as the US being the 1st country to capture and bring back an asteroid the size of an suv back from the asteroid belt!! And then another the size of a 2 story house!!! Parked in orbit around the moon that our men and women can begin cutting small shades off it to study on the moon!!!
Yes this will be cool!! But Iād rather fly international flights through the Space X Starship way!! Thatās twice as far and twice as fast!! And way more fun
Who cares about sound barrier waves,get with it.
Canāt help but feel we are wasting energy on reducing sonic booms of conventional fan jets and we should be redirecting energy to advanced forms of propulsion. Itās exciting and infuriating simultaneously to think about what our government isnāt showing us yet.
How is the pilot supposed to focus his or her vision on more distant objects or be able to visually detect objects in the far distance by looking at a computer monitor?
Love this shyt…
