- But these restrictions could be lifted with refined aerodynamic design. For example, research by Nasa on its X-59 QueSST programme hopes to produce optimised airframe shapes which could significantly reduce overland sonic booms to a much quieter “thud” – coming in at 75 decibels rather than the Concorde’s 105 decibel boom.

Mar 29, 2024 · Still, NASA feels that one of the big reasons Concorde did not sell enough airplanes was because it couldn’t fly over land supersonically. When the ban on supersonic flight was put in place, the...
Jun 6, 2024 · NASA is addressing the longstanding ban on civilian supersonic flights over land by developing the X-59 aircraft, which aims to minimize sonic booms to mere “thumps.”
Jan 12, 2024 · The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA’s Quesst mission, which seeks to solve one of the major barriers to supersonic flight over land, currently banned in the United States, by making sonic booms quieter.
Jan 16, 2024 · The agency says its Quesst mission has successfully reduced the noise of supersonic aircraft from loud sonic booms to a quiet "thump" with the X-59.
Mar 29, 2024 · An Ars Technica report discusses the possibility of achieving supersonic flight without loud booms, noting that NASA is working on it. "The X-59 is being built to do a series of supersonic test flights over American cities to boom people living there."
Mar 4, 2024 · When a plane flies at supersonic speeds, the aircraft generates shock waves that join up and form two bigger waves. The X-59’s design, NASA hopes, will prevent shockwaves from forming in...
Feb 10, 2021 · This means that in most countries, routine supersonic flight is banned over land, severely limiting the potential routes of a civilian supersonic plane. For this reason, Concorde only flew routes that were largely over water. New designs, however, are pioneering so-called low-boom technology.
