NASA's X-59 aircraft tests bring us closer to reviving commercial supersonic flights Caliber.Az on Youtube

NASA has just completed successful engine tests for its X-59 research aircraft, marking a major milestone in the future of supersonic travel. In collaboration with Lockheed Martin, NASA tested the modified F414-GE-100 engine, focusing on smooth airflow, minimal vibrations, and efficient cooling.

The X-59’s innovative design, with its top-mounted engine and sleek, needle-like shape, aims to eliminate disruptive sonic booms, transforming them into a quieter “sonic thump.” This breakthrough could revolutionize commercial supersonic flights. Watch to see how NASA is shaping the future of air travel.
