NASA will develop the ship for supersonic civil aviation
The space Agency will return to the projects of supersonic civil aviation. In the near future experts will start the development of X-plane. In the process you will use the experience of the successes and failures of the Concorde aircraft, as well as the latest models QueSST.
Recall that in the framework of QueSST experts managed to solve the problem of sonic boom — he’s all over the ship to pass the sound barrier and to develop enough speed. This work by the US government in 2016 has been allocated $ 20 million and the technique has already passed flight tests in the wind tunnel.
The new team plans Lockheed Martin and NASA — the improvement of the aircraft, its adaptation to passenger traffic. In the result, the equipment needs to fly safely over populated areas and not to cause discomfort to their residents.
Since a number of complex technical issues have been solved, most likely, a new era of supersonic civil aviation, despite the need for significant investment, is waiting for us in the near future. According to the calculations of NASA, the implementation of the technical side of the project is four years.
