NASA // aims to make supersonic aircraft and very silent but nevertheless commercial
Hello to all the friends of this steemit community, friends in this opportunity I am going to talk a little about a great goal that NASA has to fulfill.
The great aeronautical industry is reluctant to believe that some supersonic aircraft have gone down in history, about 15 years ago the last plane called Concorde took off, already seen death wounded, this some time ago, when a fatal accident happened on the 25th of the month of July of the year 2000. The first tests that were done of the scale model was within a supersonic wind tunnel these were already made in the month of May of the year 2017, this was in the Center Glenn Research Center, in the city of Cleveland.
The great NASA managed to sign an important contract of nothing and nothing less than 247.5 million dollars with Lockheed Martin to conceive, build and test this great new device, which could take off in 2021, the agency said. space. The spectacular aircraft is very well designed to be able to fly at an altitude of nothing more and nothing less than 17,000 meters, this with a cruising speed of about 1,500 kilometers per hour. You can get to estimate that the X-Plane will generate a shocking sound that will become as strong as the closing of a door of a car, 75 decibels, instead of the sonic explosion, which is the shock wave caused by an insignificant object when it exceeds Mach 1 speed.
This will make a plane that will be able to fly relatively quietly, this plane that is being made could revolutionize the great air transport of passengers and cargo to be able to fly over all areas are inhabited by all US.
But at the moment the seats for the passengers of this great project that is being carried out are not really planned. this great project can show us that, indeed, the supersonic and (silent) flight is quite possible, but we will have to wait a bit for the authorities that regulate the great civil aviation to adapt.
