NASA fires up its X-59 quiet supersonic jet engine for the first time
Why don’t we have supersonic aircraft any more? Although commercial supersonic air travel kicked off in the 1960s with the arrival of the Concorde, since that jet was retired in 2003, there are no supersonic jets in common civilian usage any more.
NASA runs first engine tests on supersonic X-59 research aircraft
NASA engineers fired the engines on the X-59 research aircraft in advance of planned test flights to determine if the aircraft can reduce sonic booms and make supersonic flight over land quieter. Engineers began test-firing the experimental aircraft's jet engine at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works facility in Palmdale,
