Nasa’s super-fast plane gets ready for test flight

Have you heard that Nasa has made an aircraft? Nasa’s newest plane is the X 59, and it was introduced to the public in January 2024. It was built for safety reasons, and it looks like the Corcode.

and has been seen taking pictures when they were on ground crew. Also, Larson has also been flying many other planes Nasa has built so, he might be flying the X-59. The plane broke sound barriers and has reached Mach 1.4 which is really fast.

The test flight will be in Palmdale, California. But military vehicles can fly the planes anywhere because they are the military. The plane will be test-flown in the week of September. When they test-fly the plane, they might need to turn off the engine, because it uses hydrazine, a toxic but vital chemical so that might be why, the engine will restart. They still need to check the plane for any problems to make sure the plane doesn’t crash. The plane also has Fly-By-Wire Controls. That means that it keeps the plane stable by not flipping over. an , because the plane doesn’t have a front window for the pilot to see.

If you want to know why I’m saying it, it’s because supersonic planes can create a boom that disturbs the environment. It means it can create small ground vibrations that can shake some stuff for example, gnomes and plants. There will be many companies watching, like Lockheed Martin and Boom Supersonic, because they can learn how to make planes that can go at supersonic speeds and make their planes quieter. Boom Supersonic is making a supersonic plane like the X-59. If you want to learn more, you can try to find other articles that teach you about supersonic booms.
