Nasa’s quiet aircraft may herald boom in supersonic jet travel
NASA's Quiet SuperSonic Technology project with Lockheed Martin has developed the X-59 aircraft, designed to reduce sonic booms to a level that may allow for the lifting of the commercial supersonic flight ban over land. The X-59 is capable of flying at 925mph at altitudes up to 55,000ft and will undergo sound-testing to gauge public perception of its noise impact. This could lead to a new era in air travel, with the potential for commercial supersonic passenger liners by 2035. Historical context is provided, referencing Chuck Yeager and the Concorde, while NASA and Lockheed Martin express optimism for the future of supersonic flight.
