NASA's new 1000mph X-Plane will market the supersonic air travel industry, it was predicted.
The US Space Agency revealed that she was working on the jet – known as X-59 QueSST – in May. 19659003] He granted Lockheed Martin a $ 247.5 million contract for the construction of the experimental jet
and it is believed that when he takes to the skies he will revolutionize air travel.
First, NASA said It produces a "low roar" and will be able to fly from New York to Los Angeles in two hours

Jaiwon Shin, the associate administrator of NASA, revealed a few days ago that the US Air Force had informed them that It would designate the experimental aircraft in X. a " tradition of naming important experimental aircraft and rockets dating back to 1947 and the X-1."
He said: "For all those working on this important project, this is good news and we are delighted with the designation.
" I am confident The contributions that the QueSST X-59 will make to our nation and to the world will secure its place among NASA's largest X airplanes ever piloted. "
