NASA X-59 achieves sound barrier
NASA's experimental X-59 aircraft successfully broke the sound barrier for the first time during an 81-minute flight above Edwards Air Force Base in California at an altitude of 43,400 feet, reaching a speed of nearly 1.1 Mach. The aircraft was designed to reduce the noise generated by sonic booms through a slender nose platform and advanced external vision technology, with the goal of developing supersonic planes capable of traveling globally in half the current time. It aims for a maximum speed of 1.4 Mach at an altitude of 55,000 feet.
