NASA’s X-59 Aircraft Flies Supersonic for First Time
NASA’s experimental X-59 aircraft marked a major milestone Friday, June 5, when it flew faster than the speed of sound for the first time, setting the stage for demonstrating its quiet supersonic capabilities later this year. NASA test pilot Jim “Clue” Less took off and landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California, reaching a top speed of approximately Mach 1.1 (713 mph) and altitude of 43,400 feet. The X-59’s flight began at 11:08 a.m. PDT and lasted 81 minutes, with the team focusing on flying qualities at both subsonic and then […]

Booklet: R&D More electric and hydrogen-electric powered aerospace
Hydrogen as a fuel is considered to be an important route towards future sustainable aviation. For aviationapplications, hydrogen presents several key advantages: it allows for the elimination of carbon emissions inflight and along the entire life cycle. Its usage in fuel cells allows eliminating NOx and particles. When burntin a turbine engine, very low particle […] Het bericht Booklet: R&D More electric and hydrogen-electric powered aerospace verscheen eerst op Nederlands Lucht- en Ruimtevaartcentrum.
