NASA reports successful X-59 sonic boom test
NASA successfully achieved the first flight of its experimental aircraft, the X-59, surpassing the speed of sound during an 81-minute flight over Edwards Air Force Base in California. The aircraft reached a speed of Mach 1.1 at an altitude of 43,400 feet. This milestone aims to develop technology that reduces annoying sonic booms and to achieve a speed of Mach 1.4 at an altitude of 55,000 feet, with the goal of enabling faster air travel and shortening journeys between regions. Through this technology, NASA seeks to lay the groundwork for future commercial supersonic flight.
