NASA And LockheedMartin long developed by supersonic aeroplane X-59 An official representation for carried out.
United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA, X-Plane new generation supersonic aircraft within the scope of the program X-59 for the past years LockheedMartin agreed. Two companies before X-59 QueSST It has been working on the aircraft, also known as , since 2016, and its first public presentation and exhibition was held at the event held in the past hours. The aircraft, produced by the Skunk Works division of Lockheed Martin, which tests the small models it has developed in wind tunnels and has reached a considerable point with its computer designs, has no intention of being put into mass production at this stage. X-59 is specifically intended as a test platform and the experimental plane you can see above, which is on display to the public, has a length of 29 meters and a wingspan of 9 meters. A vehicle that produces 9,979 kg of thrust General Electric F414 According to the statement, the aircraft equipped with the engine will be able to easily reach a speed of 1.5 Mach at an altitude of 16,800 m. The aircraft aims to make the new generation supersonic passenger aircraft much better than before. especially focuses on the silent journey. Because the supersonic passenger plane (which can go faster than sound) was shelved after the bad events that happened to it. concordeWhen it exceeded the speed of sound, it created a huge “Sonic Boom” explosion.

Those who want this to be brought to a level that will not disturb the cities below NASAMoreover in supersonic (1,513 km/h) cruise noise It was also aiming for a serious reduction (up to 75 db). This is the basis for the new aircraft that will attract a lot of attention. Unfortunately, the first flight date has not been announced yet.. Once airborne, the X-59 will be used not only to develop supersonic flight technology, but also to update FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration) regulations established in the 1970s. There are currently many private companies working on supersonic passenger planes.Great steps are being taken for the future of aviation. Meanwhile Serious work continues for electric planes / aircraft.. Only next to battery-powered aircraft hydrogen Powered electric aircraft are also being developed.
