NASA's X-59 jet is ready to break the sound barrier for the 1st time this month
NASA's X-59 jet is ready to break the sound barrier for the 1st time this month "We are starting toward the mission conditions test point that X-59 was designed for." NASA's X-59 jet is on the verge of finally breaking the sound barrier. The X-59 is a supersonic aircraft designed with a radical elongated geometry that aims to reduce the volume of the sonic booms it can create when breaking the sound barrier.
Going supersonic! NASA's X-59 jet breaks sound barrier for the 1st time
NASA's X-59 jet breaks sound barrier for the 1st time NASA's X-59 jet has finally gone supersonic. The X-59, a long-nosed demonstrator designed to help develop the tech required for "quiet" supersonic flight, notched the milestone on Friday (June 5), more than six months after getting off the ground for the first time. "The X-59’s first supersonic flight is a testament to America's enduring leadership in science, engineering and aerospace innovation," Michael Kratsios, assistant to the...
NASA readies the X-59 for its first supersonic flight, SpaceX's Starship grounded and more science stories
NASA readies the X-59 for its first supersonic flight, SpaceX's Starship grounded and more science stories This week’s science news. This week, NASA shared more information about its planned moon base missions, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the launchpad and the James Webb Space Telescope spotted a supermassive black hole that researchers say "may have formed within the first second after the big bang." But first, we have updates on NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research plane...
NASA’s X-59 is about to break the sound barrier for the first time
NASA’s futuristic X-59 jet is about to face its biggest challenge yet: breaking the sound barrier for the first time. After a successful series of test flights that pushed the aircraft to near-supersonic speeds, engineers are preparing to fly it faster than Mach 1 and eventually up to Mach 1.6 at 60,000 feet. The sleek experimental aircraft is designed to replace the thunderous sonic boom with a much quieter “thump,” a breakthrough that could help bring supersonic passenger travel back over...
