NASA X-59 Supersonic Aircraft Finally Made Its First Flight!

NASA Finally Launches Quiet Supersonic X-59 Aircraft in the Sky! This brand-new aircraft, created in cooperation with NASA and Lockheed Martin, will transform our understanding of passenger transportation. Its bizarre shape will become familiar to everyone in the coming years, and its extraordinary technological capabilities are exactly the breakthrough that has been waiting for decades. More than 300 engineers worked to bring this airplane to life, and for good reason. Its speed is one and a half times faster than the speed of sound, and the project cost is $250 million.

  9. I'm sure some of what you say is right but I gave up after noting the following …
    5:05 ish 1) BA Concorde operations were profitable (I note that the aircraft were almost free). 2) It was deemed unprofitable to upgrade the aircraft (ADS-B etc), and BA would have had to shoulder all maintenance costs, rather than share them with Air France, so they were removed from service. 3) Flight safety was excellent until a numb-nuts mechanic working on a DC-10, poorly affixed a repair of the wrong material (titanium alloy instead of stainless steel) to a thrust reverser which fell off on a runway used by an Air France Concorde. The debris slashed a tire which burst, damaging the fuel tanks and a fire was started, possibly caused by a short circuit resulting from the same burst tyre. End result the only loss of a Concorde. 4) There was no "flight ban" (which implies government intervention to ban an unsafe aircraft). The aircraft was withdrawn from service by the airlines and manufacturer, partly because the sole crash damaged its reputation, resulting in reduced profitability or losses.
    5) The boom, from a small test aircraft (the X59 of the video) is expected to be 75db at ground level. You state (1:37) that the safe volume for humans is 70db. So even a small, unrepresentative, test aircraft, let alone a large commercial airliner (with a louder boom) will exceed acceptable limits. But then the USA always legislates to favour its industry so perhaps there will be countless "double gunshots" all over the USA in years to come.
    6) I have seen no evidence that the X59 is a preview of a successful supersonic airliner, able to transit land at supersonic speed.
    7) 9:50 ish The F35 is not ahead of other aircraft in terms of manoeuvrability and striking power. It is behind Eurofighter, Rafale on both and Gripen on manoeuvrability. Its roughly the weight of an F15 with only about 2/3 the thrust. So it can't even compete with an F15. The main advantages of the F35 are its sensor suite and it connectivity, stealth is a bonus.
    8) Flying through the air at speed heats up the airframe. The IR signature is detectable from long range so radar stealth, is not a panacea as touted by people like you. There was a famous video of a B2 in IR taken at Farnborough in which it shows up very clearly due to such heating – and it was moving relatively slowly (under 250kt).
    9) Constellations of radar satellites will provide continuous radar coverage from orbit (including against stealth – stealth primarily is against frontal and/or side reflections rather than from above). All aircraft, ships and perhaps even some individual land vehicles should be continuously trackable.

  12. NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM YOU HOAX MAKERS, NASA. You guys sure do have a crack team of LIARS, and it's clear that you make great effort to identify and recruit the world's best bullshitters. The X plane ain't new — I married the grand-daughter of Donald Kelly one of the engineers who worked on the antigravity propulsion system of the X plane which set the worlds record for fastest aircraft in the late 1960s and still holds the title all these decades later. X-plane is a UFO chaser.  

    For those of you still as yet BLINDED BY THE UNEQUIVOCAL DECEPTIONS PROMULGATED BY THIS NATIONAL AGENCY OF CIRCUS CLOWNS AND DECEPTICONS, the antigravity employed is the American antigravity of Thomas Townsend Brown — electrogravitic or electrokinetic. I understand the idea of needing secrecy, yet fail to understand the technology's failure to find better usage in service to all of humanity.

    Unlike you, NASA, I ain't frontin' HORSESHIT LIES. make us all laugh real hard again and explain what happened to all of the supposed evidence of a lunar landing… YOU LOST ALL THE FOOTAGE AND EVERY STITCH OF PROOF THAT THOSE ACTORNAUTS EVER STEPPED FOOT ONTO THE MOON… TehehehehehehehehehehehehehehHhahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Bust 'em up one more time, will ya'?……………
