Finally! America Tests Its Insane New Supersonic Jet 😱 (The X-59)

X-59: NASA will test its groundbreaking 'quiet' supersonic aircraft in the US. NASA will demonstrate its plans to test its Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) over United States communities this week in Nashville.

I like the addition of historical footage and information on the first supersonic test flights

American power the best 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 god bless america 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I grew up hearing sonic booms almost daily in the early 60s. I don’t remember anyone complaining. Most people that we knew were just very interested in what was being tested.

The concord doesn’t look to far away from the x59 looking at it. Maybe a few redesigns might help it specially with new engine technologies we have now.

I remember when I was little the Air Force would always fly over my town at supersonic speeds. The Sonic booms were really loud and the whole house would shake the windows would wobble visibly stuff would fall off the shelves. You could feel the sonic boom in your chest. I can only imagine how scared little children or babies would be with that. Even older people it could cause a heart attack. It happened on a weekly basis.

Back in 1976 I was a Phantom Phixer while stationed at Kadena AFB, me and half the squadron were air lifted to Kunsan AFB after two Army officers were killed on the DMZ. After 30 days on high alert one of the Phantom pilots decided to pop the sound barrier right over the Flight line before landing, he broke the base commanders office windows, and was sent home to Okinawa.

People have become supersensitive to aircraft sound. I'm pretty old now and I can remember the days of sonic booms from the air force. We just accepted them and went about our business, no big deal. Now they build housing developments near airports and the people that move into them then complain about the aircraft noise. Doesn't make sense, does it. Supersonic mass transit doesn't make much sense either, the extra energy needed to move at those speeds doesn't make sense in terms of fuel usage and likely never will. The safety aspect will be a problem also. It makes more sense to move slower, use less fuel and enjoy the ride.

A beautiful aircraft reminiscent of the strategic bomber XB-70.
The Xb-70's engine was also made by General Electric.

Reminds me of the X-3 Stiletto by Douglas.

I saw this fly over the pier in Huntington beach California. it went from 500 feet over the water to over 30, 000 feet and around a passenger jet then disappeared behind the mountains in all of 7 seconds and less!

[anndivine]

It doesn't matter even if it is louder than Concord. It will he acceptable, why, because it's American, not British. That was the real reason that Concord was slowed down over land. not that it was complained about, but because the US didn't have a S/sonic plane.

[hoplites]

Interesting but the narrator needs help. Mack is a truck, Mach is the speed of sound. One animated scene shows a compressor blades in the scramjet engine.

[DanFilkins-sp]

I remember when I was a kid we used to always hear Sonic booms in the sky it was not nothing unusual at all you wouldn't even hardly flinched that we've had so many of them

[garrettburrows]

Some people dont understand how a sonic boom works, it's not just a boom, the boom is continues as a wave, the ironic part about secret aircraft is the designated project name usually correlates with what the project does. Project Aurora leaves an aurora, project thumper thumps

[southpark]

"Finally! America Tests Its Insane New Supersonic Jet" - there's a big difference between 'tests' and 'is going to test'.

[Rykbell]

Exactly 84 years ago duck eager broke the sound barrier

[jaymac]

Concorde is still one of the best looking aircraft ever made!

[АлександрВикторович-ъь]

Современные радары отслеживают самолёты не по звуку.
Эт для тех, кто в абрамсе.

[NATES]

Concorde was NOT banned from flight over land but supersonic flight over land, very different.

[ВладимирМельников-ъч]

Сверхзвук надо применять на больших высотах, а эту констр.можно сделать более функциональной иу😢 с верт.взлетом и устранить высокий звук у Знмли.МВП-Владимер.
