mostra másCurrently, NASA is collaborating with Lockheed Martin in hopes of revitalizing commercial supersonic flight by minimizing sonic booms. Their X-59 QueSST (Quiet SuperSonic Technology) project aims to eliminate the speed limit on land when supersonic booms are no longer a concern. Other aircraft, like the Northrop F-5E Tiger II, demonstrated in 2003 that the shape of the aircraft can reduce the intensity of supersonic booms. The X-59 is designed to go even further, creating supersonic booms of only about 75 decibels, equivalent to the sound of a washing machine.
