NASA’s X-59 Just Broke the Sound Barrier for the First Time

Описание: NASA’s X-59 has officially broken the sound barrier for the first time, marking a major milestone in the future of aviation. During a historic test flight over California’s Mojave Desert, the experimental aircraft reached Mach 1.077 and proved that quiet supersonic travel may soon become a reality. Unlike traditional supersonic jets that create powerful sonic booms, the X-59 is designed to produce only a soft thump that is far less disruptive to people on the ground.
