The experimental aircraft X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) by NASA is one of the great promises of aviation. It is about to take flight, and this is everything we know so far<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

As its name suggests, the aircraft is testing technology that dampens the sonic boom sound<\/strong> produced when an aircraft breaks the sound barrier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The X-59 is designed to reduce the sudden noise to a quieter “sonic thump,” <\/strong>which could pave the way for supersonic passenger flights over the continental United States, which have been restricted due to noise pollution regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An aircraft that can change everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NASA recently shared a couple of images showcasing the X-59 on what is known as the “flight line,” <\/strong>the area between the hangar and the runway, at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The move from its construction site to the flight line is one of many milestones that prepare the X-59 for its first flight and subsequent flights,” NASA said this week, adding that the team will now conduct a series of critical ground tests to ensure the aircraft is ready for its inaugural flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these tests will involve flying the X-59 at supersonic speeds over a series of communities<\/strong> to observe how residents respond to the sonic boom generated during its high-speed flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, NASA will share its findings with U.S. and international regulatory agencies, potentially opening up the possibility of commercial supersonic flights over land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
