NASA has just tested the performance of the engine on the X-59 research plane, which the space agency hopes to reduce the disgusting Sonic tree of the plane.
NASA and Lockheed Martin do tests between October and February with a single modified F414-GE-100 engine, which will increase the energy to the plane and the digestive system.
“We succeeded in the ground test of the engine as we had planned. release– “We received a smooth and stable air flow as expected from the wind tunnel test. We don't have too much structural problems or vibrations. And some parts of the engine and airplanes that want to coil
When the plane exceeds Mach 1 (the speed of the sound or about 767 miles per hour – 1,234 kilometers/hour for those who use the metric system) breakThe sound of the air pressure wave combined is a shock that is caused by the high speed of the plane.
That sound – Sonic tree-Can start people on the ground and even a broken window, which leads to the central government flight management to prohibit the noisy flight of non -military aircraft in 1973, a high speed journey. Commerce has not seen the day since Kong Chord flightEven if it is fashion, it is not a fuel economy or saving in operations and creating many noise complaints from the city that it flew. Kong Chord's last flight occurred in 2003.
NASA also released a relatively tidy test, which you can check below. The first X-59 team tests the hydraulic of the plane and the electricity control system and the environment. After that, they inspected the accelerator and shot the plane to Max. (According to the blessing in the picture above). Those formats were blessed in feathers. Diamond– The wave patterns arising from the compression and expansion of exhaust gas while they leave the rocket nozzle at the surrounding speed.

X-59 first Rolled Or plane storage in Palm Del California in January 2024 Big revelation It is a phenomenon: 99 feet (30 meters) long plane stands at only 14 feet (4.27 meters) and 29.5 feet (9 m) width. Look at every inch with the meaning to cut through the air, with the least. The plane's dagger stopped completed. (No play, idioms): its slenderness should reduce the changes that flow through the ground, reduce what is the beginning of the Sonic tree into the sound of Sonic. One engineer compare The sound of X-59s of the car door is closing.
For this reason, the X-59 engine is installed at the top of the plane, which will help reduce the volume from the plane to the ground.
The effort to resurrect the northern travel is from the private sector. At the end of January, aviation and space companies above the sound of the experimental plane (the XB-1 demonstrator) faster than the first sound to achieve three times on that flight.
The height of X-59 will be 55,000 feet (16,764 m) and was designed to be 925 miles per hour (1.489 kilometers per hour). NASA did not offer a timeline. For the first flight that is expected to have the first launch of the plane in their latest launch (The aircraft is the original specified for that flight last year), but the launch states that additional tests are still needed.
Especially the test to check the electromagnetic interference and the method that the plane manages data in normal conditions and failures. Finally, the taxi test will proceed – clearly, it is an important test of the ultimate goal of this plane operation.
When NASA Bin X-59 for the first time, the agency will bring the plane through the test that explores that the Sonic Thump, known as the plane, has real experience on the ground. These demonstrations will be carried out until 2027 – although the timeline depends on whether the jet plane receives real air.
