With the size of that beak, they should have named it "Pelican".
Does it run off of batteries?
The SR71 does it in less than an hour.
I don’t want to go to ny or London even if you transport me instantly
It looks like the Moon and Mars are off the table—gonna have to settle for London.
Lol—this is like the days of the steamships—think of it as devolution in action.
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we’ll be A-OK
Why is NASA developing the next generation of commercial aircraft?
Oh, that’s right, because our government operates in service to the military-congressional-industrial complex.
Test flights WHEN?
Carries one person per flight?
Might take a while to amortize this baby.
I had a gig at Falon Naval Air Station in Nevada where they did a lot of Super Sonic flight training.
You would hear a boom or two every day. The funny part was it was causing our disk drive heads to touch the surface. We had bad sectors all over the place.
It will crash.
Should have been named ‘Daughter of Concorde’.
The NYP should know better than to say the speed of sound is a set speed, when it varies, due to altitude and barometric pressure.
The 1970’s are calling.....
I ain’t getting on anything built by DEI ignorant assholes.
Joke! Useless. No room for any passengers.
NASA debuts supersonic jet called ‘son of Concorde’ - capable of flying from NYC to London in 3 1/2 hours
Crewed by diversity hires.
“Aeronautic officials debuted a new quiet supersonic plane capable of flying faster than the speed of sound and getting from New York to London in three and a half hours.”………..
……..but how fast can it do the Kessel Run?
RLTW
“The X-59 is part of NASA’s Quesst mission, which is aimed at “providing data to help regulators reconsider” the ban.
NASA cautioned that the X-59 was a “unique experimental airplane,” not a prototype that would be replicated for commercial endeavors.
The cost of the project is $632 million over eight years, according to Bloomberg.”
why in the world is NASA spending over a half billion dollars on helping regulators reconsider” the supersonic ban on commercial air travel? Is space suddenly too hard for the nuevo DEI NASA, so they’ve literally lowered their sights?
Seriously ... does anybody at NASA actually call it that?
But will it create deadly holes in the ozone layer like the media claimed the Concord did?
