Return of the X planes - seeking supersonic flight without the boom. QueSST
[link to www.bbc.com (secure)]

"the X-59 is designed to create a quiet sonic boom at the test point of Mach 1.4 (1,074 mph) at 55,000ft (16,800m), which is in the range a commercial aircraft is likely to fly"

The sheer number of regular jets at 30,000 is annoying enough.

Pretty quiet



I think the video is misnamed. Has nothing to do with an F-18

 Quoting: Tangy


I would think they would test it in Houston.

NASA, Ellington Field, etc.



The video above was taken over Galveston. The sonic booms were very quiet.

They said several select cities, I would guess Miramar would be one. I guess we will see.

If that forward looking camera ever fails, they are screwed. Can't see out the front of the plane.

I assume they have some extra cameras. But hit a flock of birds or bugs or whatever, and I guess they would have to try and land with instruments.
