X-59 aims for supersonic flight
NASA and its partner Lockheed Martin successfully tested the supersonic aircraft "X-59," surpassing the sound barrier twice within a week, reaching speeds of up to Mach 1.4 at altitudes of up to 16.7 kilometers. This milestone brings us closer to achieving the dream of quiet supersonic flight and reducing sonic boom noise. The testing aims to enable faster commercial travel and shorten travel times between cities, such as Los Angeles and New York, from about five hours to less than three hours.
