🇺🇸 NASA AND LOCKHEED TEST SUPERSONIC JET THAT DOESN'T GO BOOM NASA and Lockheed Martin just flew a supersonic jet designed to make only a "gentle thump" instead of the terrifying sonic boom that's banned commercial supersonic travel over land since the 1940s. The X-59 test flight over California...

🇺🇸 NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic jet just completed its first “wheels-up” flight! The sleek new aircraft showed off its streamlined design, built specifically to turn the traditional deafening sonic boom into nothing more than a quiet thump. This is a huge step toward bringing back supersonic flight over land. If the X-59 works as planned, we could one day fly from New York to London in half the time without rattling windows below. The future of fast travel just got a lot quieter. Source: NASA Aeronautics

For 52 years, we’ve had a speed limit in the sky. It’s time to cut red tape and flight time coast-to-coast. Boom Supersonic proved supersonic flight is possible without a sonic boom reaching the ground. My SAM Act would legalize civil supersonic flight over land.

ICYMI: In a major shift, the U.S. government is moving to overturn a 50-year ban on civilian supersonic flight over land, a regulation that’s defined the boundaries of commercial aviation since 1973. It’s a meaningful moment for aerospace and the backdrop for Episode #008 of "Valley of Depth" with Blake Scholl 🛫, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. We cover: – Why the U.S. banned supersonic flight – How Boom plans to make supersonic flight sustainable and commercially viable – The decision to build a new engine in-house – What the real economics of airline orders look like – How regulatory shifts, geopolitical dynamics, and climate pressure intersect – And why faster travel isn’t simply a luxury, it’s a necessity Blake on "Boomless Cruise," a flight mode that allows supersonic aircraft to fly over land without producing an audible sonic boom on the ground 👇

NEW: President Trump has signed an executive order to scrap regulations that ban supersonic commercial air travel. The supersonic flight regulation was imposed in 1973 due to noise concerns. Trump's order "seeks to revolutionize supersonic aviation in the United States" by letting aircraft fly faster than the speed of sound. "The US used to be the global leader in this technology, but stifling regulations have grounded progress for generations," said director of the WH Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios. "The reality is that Americans should be able to fly from New York to LA in under four hours." More from the White House: - This Order removes regulatory barriers so that U.S. companies can dominate supersonic flight once again. - The Order directs the FAA to repeal the prohibition on overland supersonic flight, establish an interim noise-based certification standard, and repeal other regulations that hinder supersonic flight. - The Order instructs the FAA Administrator to establish a standard for supersonic aircraft noise certification that considers community acceptability, economic reasonableness, and technological feasibility. - The Order advances the coordination of supersonic research, development, test and evaluation efforts through the National Science and Technology Council with leadership from the Office of Science and Technology Policy. - It promotes international engagement through the FAA and other agencies to align global supersonic flight regulations and secure bilateral agreements for international operations. The following video is a collaboration between Boom Supersonic and United Airlines, showing what the future could look like with supersonic flights.

COMING SOON: SUPERSONIC FLIGHTS ARE BACK. The FAA has proposed a new rule that would allow civil supersonic flights over the continental United States. By utilizing "boomless cruise" technology, next-generation aircraft could travel at speeds above Mach 1 without disruptive sonic booms reaching the ground. “Advances in aerospace engineering, materials science, noise reduction, and new operational concepts will eliminate the old sonic boom,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. The FAA aims to finalize the new regulations by mid-2027. The video shows a landing by the legendary Concorde in Atlanta during its operational years.

OTD in 1969, the very first British-built Concorde prototype —Concorde 002— took to the skies for its maiden flight. Flown by chief test pilot Brian Trubshaw, the quick 22-minute trip was a huge milestone for the joint UK-France supersonic project. A massive crowd of reporters showed up at the Filton airfield to catch a glimpse of the action. Even Trubshaw, who usually shied away from the press, was thrilled, calling the smooth flight "wizard—a cool, calm, and collected operation." After taking off from Filton, the plane actually had to touch down about 50 miles away at RAF Fairford. As it turned out, the runway at the factory simply wasn't long enough to safely test-fly the massive new supersonic jet! 📹British Pathé ℹ️Concorde Legacy

✈️ A historic moment for the X-59 and NASA's Quesst mission. Watch the moment the X-59 exceeded the speed of sound for the first time ever, marking a major milestone on the path toward demonstrating quiet supersonic flight over land. The display shows Mach 1.07, but the aircraft is actually at Mach 1.0. The difference comes from the system's calibration, which makes the shown value slightly higher than the true speed. The calibration will continue fine-tuning as we expand the X-59's flight envelope. Learn more: #NASA #X59 #Quesst

The Lockheed XF-90 was a 1940s USAF long-range penetration fighter prototype that was the first USAF jet to have afterburners and first Lockheed jet to fly supersonic(in a dive). It had swept wings and an unusual adjustable vertical stabilizer that slid fore/aft . The first prototype lacked afterburners and was so underpowered it needed RATO rockets to takeoff. Influenced the F-104, but placed 2nd to the XF-88 Voodoo, partly because the design proved to be underpowered. The 2nd prototype survived 3 atomic blasts and is on display at the NMUSAF in Dayton, Ohio or what is left of it.👀 Bonus Fact (for sticking around): Starred in Blackhawk DC comics (50's-64).

America's Concorde. The Lockheed L-2000 was America's Mach 3 supersonic jet project from the 60s, built to carry 250 passengers across the Atlantic at Mach 3 in 2 hours. The initial design called for a beefed-up turbofan derivative of the P&W J58 engines that had already been proven on the A-12 and subsequently on the SR-71—That would change in future evolutions. Unfortunately, It lost to Boeing's design, and sadly both got axed in '71 over costs and eco issues.👀

"But that darn Elon just went and tried it and it worked, and they cancelled our WHOLE program!" Here's an interesting story about how Elon Musk ambitiously skipped to the last step when trying to land on a barge with a rocket, proving supersonic retro-propulsion worked. Phil Metzger knew someone working on a supersonic reentry program at NASA at the time who was shocked Elon was able to skip ahead, thus canceling their need for the program. Failing fast and forward not only saves so much money, but is more efficient and skips over steps you might not need. This lesson could even apply in your own life. This is my favorite part of my recent interview with Dr. Metzger.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 The US jet that surpassed the legendary Harrier For decades, the Harrier amazed the world by hovering like a helicopter. Then came the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II. Powered by the most powerful engine ever fitted to a production fighter aircraft, the F-35B delivers around 40,000+ pounds of thrust while combining stealth, supersonic speed, and vertical landing capability in a single aircraft. What makes it different? 🔹 More than twice the power of the Harrier 🔹 Stealth technology designed for modern warfare 🔹 Mach 1.6 supersonic speed 🔹 Advanced sensors that can detect, track, and share targets in real time 🔹 Ability to operate from small ships and short runways 🔹 One of the most sophisticated combat aircraft ever built The Hawker Siddeley Harrier proved that a fighter jet could hover. The F-35B proved that a stealth fighter could hover, fight, survive, and dominate in the most contested airspace on Earth. What began as a revolutionary British concept evolved into one of the most advanced American combat aircraft ever created. From hovering over a runway to leading the future of air warfare, the leap is extraordinary.
