The X59 jet, currently under development by NASA, has successfully completed its first supersonic flight. While the Concorde, a past supersonic passenger aircraft, was withdrawn from the market due to an explosive sound on the ground upon breaking the sound barrier, this aircraft produced only a sound comparable to a car door closing in the distance during supersonic flight. If the X59 is commercialized as a "quiet" Concorde, it is expected to c…
NASA's X-59 experimental aircraft has reached another milestone, which could bring supersonic civilian flight back to life in the future - without sonic booms.
The experimental aircraft X-59 of the Nasa has already flown several times, and even passed the sound wall the first time. But the Nasa did not yet allow to track its flights live. The next flight can be followed in real time, using a map. The X-59 is officially supersonic. On 5 June 2026,
