The Concorde's successor might be quieter. 🤔 engineering
The small-scale model was tested for two weeks and the results of shock wave measurements matched the computer-modeled shock waves that suggest quieter supersonic flights.
The full-scale X-59 QueSST is currently being constructed by NASA and aerospace company Lockheed Martin at Lockheed’s Skunk Works division in Palmdale, California. The supersonic airplane is expected to begin its initial tests. And if the airplane successfully completed the tests, NASA will then verify that the aircraft’s quiet supersonic technology performs in flight as designed.
CST project aims to reduce the sonic boom to make it much quieter. Clayton Meyers, deputy project manager of the CST project said,"This is the team’s opportunity to get data at the low sound levels produced in the tunnel."If X-59 demonstrates the ability to lower the sound of sonic booms, and supersonic flights are cleared for commercial travel, X-59 could fly from London to New York in just three hours.
The airplane, which is 99.7 feet long and 29,5 feet wide, is specifically designed to minimize the sound of sonic booms. We can at least be able to reach supersonic speeds in flights while we are waiting for teleportation to become a daily transportation model.Just enter your email and we’ll take care of the rest:
