Engine added to NASA's supersonic plane could change flight rules

Noiseless and high-speed planes are the new goal of companies that build and sell aircraft to different countries. With that, NASA creates innovation and the airplane supersonic gains a supermotor that increases speed and generates less noise. If you want to know more about it, then check out the details about this plane throughout the post.

Details about the engine added to NASA's supersonic plane

Check now information about this news from NASA that came to revolutionize:

NASA supersonic plane

NASA's supersonic plane, which gained an engine almost 4 meters long, was built by US space agency itself, under a contract involving US$ 247.5 million with Lockheed Martin. The plane is expected to be used on a flight in the year 2025 and, if it has good data collected during the flight, these supersonic planes will be used to collect data without sonic booms.

When tested, the plane may bring changes to commercial flights carried out by several companies from different countries. This is because it will have a greater impact on aircraft, with less impact on their performance.

Below you can see engine specifications for this plane.

The engine used

The engine used for the mission intended by NASA can reach high speeds and altitudes of up to 55,000 feet, around 16,764 meters, which is surprising. The X-59 engine was produced by General Electric Aviation and will be used in the plane named as Questst, produced by NASA.

This engine used in the Quesst plane causes discussions about how planes can have supersonic flights and do not need to be banned today. To learn more about this, it's important to keep an eye on the upcoming news from NASA, which, since last year, has already shown its objective: to build planes capable of breaking the noise barrier.
