awaters+FollowSupersonic Jets: Coming to a City Near You?NASA’s X-59 just rolled out for its first taxi tests, inching us closer to quiet, super-fast flights over land. For decades, flying faster than sound meant huge booms that annoyed everyone below. Now, NASA and Lockheed Martin are testing a jet that could make sonic booms as soft as a car door closing. If this works, you might one day zip across the country in half the time—without waking up the neighbors! #Business #Industry #SupersonicTravel111Share
Danielle White+FollowSupersonic Flights Might Be Coming BackImagine flying coast-to-coast in half the time—supersonic jets could soon be allowed over the US for the first time ever! But here’s the catch: tickets will be pricey (think $4,800 one-way NY to London), and airlines aren’t exactly rushing to commit. The tech is wild (no more sonic booms!), but with sky-high fuel costs and a ton of red tape, will these jets actually take off? Would you pay a premium to save a few hours? #SupersonicTravel #AviationNews #FutureOfFlight #Spirituality10Share
