NASA Prepares for First Flight of Its New Supersonic Jet
The new supersonic planes being developed make less noise and use less fuel than the Concorde.

But manufacturers are under pressure from environmental groups and airports to meet the same noise and carbon emission limits as traditional planes.

NASA and Lockheed Martin recently showed off the X-59 plane during an event in Palmdale, California.

She noted that members of the NASA and Lockheed Martin teams had worked hard to take the X-59 from an idea to reality “in just a few years.”

Melroy added her hope that the X-59 “will help change the way we travel, bringing us closer together in much less time.”

NASA said in a press release that the X-59 is expected to fly at 1.4 times the speed of sound, or about 1,500 kilometers per hour.

The aircraft’s design, shape and technologies will permit it to reach high speeds while producing “a quieter sonic thump the agency explained.

The X-59 has not yet completed a test flight. But NASA officials have said they expect that to happen sometime this year.

The team will be carrying out other tests in the coming months, including instrument experiments, fast engine runs and ground testing.

Once the aircraft has been cleared to fly, it will be deployed to several cities across the U.S.

to collect data on the sounds the plane produces and how people on the ground react to the noise. The data will be provided to the U.S.

The information will help regulators decide whether to change existing laws restricting supersonic flight.

NASA said one of the biggest differences between the X-59 and other supersonic planes is that it has a thinner, smaller nose.
- Public domaingeneral-american

The nose, which was reduced by about one-third, aims to break up shock waves that results in more intense sonic booms.
- Public domaingeneral-american

The Quesst team “also designed the aircraft with its engine mounted on top and gave it a smooth underside” in an effort to reduce shock waves near the back of the plane,

NASA said. Another American company developing supersonic aircraft is Boom Supersonic in Colorado.

The company first showed off its experimental supersonic plane, the XB-1, in October 2020. Boom has been carrying out tests of the aircraft since then.

The company says on its website that its development and testing activities during the past few years have centered on ground tests, including a series of taxi runs.

In 2024, Boom said it plans to begin its “high-speed taxi testing” early in the year, while preparing for an actual flight test that could happen later in the year.
