NASA is working on a passenger plane that would be just as fast as the Concorde.<\/p>\n

This supersonic jet can you get from London to New York and back in record time.<\/p>\n

People are already calling it the \u2018New Concorde\u2019, and for good reason.<\/p>\n

NASA partnered up with aerospace company, Lockheed Martin, to tweak the company\u2019s supersonic jet called \u2018Quesst X59<\/a>\u2018.<\/p>\n

The jet is capable of traveling of 925 mph (1,488 km\/h), or Mach 1.4.<\/p>\n

At that speed, the plane would be capable of traveling from NYC to London in less than four hours.<\/p>\n

Give or take the same amount of time it took the Concorde when it was still active.<\/p>\n

And the plan is to connect at least 50 cities between the US and Europe.<\/p>\n

The sleek red, white and NASA \u2018Sonic Blue\u2019 livery is more than just a tribute to the American flag.<\/p>\n

The NASA X-59 uses a special type of paint that protects the aircraft from corrosion and moisture.<\/p>\n

It also includes key safety markings to assist flight operations when the plane is about to land.<\/p>\n

<\/a>NASA<\/p>\n

The aircraft is 99.7 feet long and 29.5 feet wide.<\/p>\n

NASA is leaving no stone unturned.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re even having to work on a way to reduce to noise from the signature \u2018sonic boom\u2019 that occurs when supersonic vehicles that break the speed of sound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s iconic, but also slightly annoying.<\/p>\n

Especially for people on the ground.<\/p>\n

<\/a>NASA<\/p>\n

The last Concorde flight<\/a>, almost exactly 20 years ago, took 100+ passengers from New York City to London Heathrow in three hours and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

There are movies that are longer than that these days.<\/p>\n

After the Concorde was gone, we got back to \u2018normal\u2019 aircraft, which take anywhere from seven to nine hours depending on the route the airline chooses.<\/p>\n

The \u2018new Concorde\u2019 \u2013 the NASA X-59 \u2013 would be a game changer for transoceanic travel.<\/p>\n

NASA is currently working<\/a> on a first test flight ahead of the plane\u2019s maiden flight in the future.<\/p>\n

The really good news is we finally have a physical, working prototype.<\/p>\n

This is not a render.<\/p>\n

This is the X-59, a single-seat X-plane aiming to reduce the sound of the sonic boom to a mere thump. It opens the possibility for commercial supersonic flights over land, which has been prohibited since 1973. Be on the lookout for first flight! pic.twitter.com\/7MZQZoyVjG<\/a><\/p>\n

Up until now, NASA had only shared renders but this is the real thing now.<\/p>\n

Lockheed Martin shared a picture of the jet parked on a runway in the middle of the desert, and it\u2019s a stunner.The post Everything we know about NASA\u2019s X-59 supersonic jet so far<\/a> appeared first on Supercar Blondie<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
