NASA to launch X-59 over cities

NASA is preparing to launch its experimental aircraft, the X-59, which has successfully surpassed the speed of sound. The goal is to reduce sonic boom noise and enable supersonic flights over cities, potentially paving the way for lifting the ban on commercial supersonic flights over land, which has been in place since 1973. The aircraft features innovative designs, including a long nose and an external visibility system. NASA plans to conduct flight tests and public opinion surveys to ensure societal acceptance, paving the way for the revision of international aviation regulations and significantly reducing travel times.
