Supersonic Jet X-59 successfully completes NASA’s first test flight

The new “quiet” Jeveronic X-59 jet designed to revolutionize air travel has successfully completed its first test flight, Locked Martin announced this week.

The sleek, needle-shaped plane designed by NASA is designed to break the sound barrier while reducing the sonic boom to a “thump,” according to aerospace contractors. Airplanes aim to overcome one of the biggest obstacles to supersonic travel, which is the sound limit on the surface of the earth.

The plane took off from PalmDale, Calif. It landed safely in about an hour at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center.

The Plane’s unique design is designed to significantly reduce the volume of the sonic boom that is normally produced when an aircraft breaks the sound barrier.

The long, pointed nose prevents adequate forward visibility, so the pilot flies dependent on the monitor in the cockpit.

NASA has paid Locke more than $500 million since 2018 to develop the plane.

The plane, measuring just 100 meters at the tail, flies at subsonic speeds on its first flight, around 230 miles per hour and reaches 12,000 meters.

The plane is designed to eventually reach a top speed of 925 mph, or Mach 1.4, and fly at altitudes of 55,000 feet.

“This aircraft is a new sign and the expertise of our collective team, and we are proud to be at the forefront of the development of silent technology,” said Paper President and General Manager of Lockeheed Martin Skunk Works Works, said in a statement.

“The IX-59 is a symbol of American ingenuity. The American spirit knows no bounds. This mission surpasses anyone who has ever revolutionized the way the world flies,” said Sean Duffy, NASA administrator.

The supersonic Concorde aircraft, built by France and the UK, began transatlantic flights in 1976, reaching a top speed of 1,300 miles per hour and New York to London in just 3.5 hours.

But high operating costs meant ticket costs were almost four times higher than a standard first-class ticket, and the supersonic boom meant the plane could only fly at very high speeds over water.

A crash in 2000 seriously affected public confidence in the aircraft, and it was retired in 2003.

NASA plans to fly the X-59 over several US cities in the coming years, gathering public feedback that could help regulators renew the decades-old SuperSsonic Ferm on Earth.

If successful, the data could open the door to a new generation of commercial jets capable of cutting flight times in half – bringing high-speed travel for the first time in two decades, but this time with far less noise.
