💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🏰⚙️ #Aerospace engineer Tom Stanton built a backyard #trebuchet powerful enough to launch a projectile past the speed of #sound.
He redesigned the ancient siege weapon with a 3:1 pulley system and a longer sling that revolved multiple times to gain #momentum. After extensive trial and error, his release cracked the whip of a #sonicboom at 1,249 km/h (776 mph), just clearing the 1,234 km/h (767 mph) barrier.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🛩️☀️ In 1973, astronomer Pierre Léna turned a #Concorde prototype into a flying observatory with four ceiling portholes, chasing the #Moon’s shadow across #Africa. Racing at Mach 2.2, he and fellow scientists watched totality for 74 minutes straight, studying the #solar corona from the #stratosphere.

I am not a huge fan of air travel in the current context ( #understatement ) but this was a fun historical story about scientists employing the prototype #Concorde to “chase” a solar eclipse across #Africa, successfully observing the Sun’s corona for a world-record 74 continuous minutes!

Supersonic flight is making a comeback decades after the Concorde. But one big hurdle remains
https://atlas.whatip.xyz/post.php?slug=supersonic-flight-is-making-a-comeback-decades-after-the-concorde-but-one-big-hurdle-remains
<p>Fifty years after a US ban, the door is cracked open again to faster-than-sound travel over land

The museum has one very famous civilian #Aeroplane and that is the first British #Concorde to be flight tested (in 1969 I think). It’s still the only #Supersonic civil aircraft to have gone into service. Here are its starboard #JetEngines.

Making Quieter Shock Waves
NASA’s X-59 aircraft is intended to demonstrate supersonic flight without the boom. Although it’s broken into supersonic speeds, we haven’t yet heard its “sonic thump” because, so far, it’s been accompanied by conventional supersonic aircraft, which are louder.
The idea behind the long, skinny X-59 is to create weaker, widely-spaced shocks along the aircraft body. Weaker shocks are easier for atmospheric effects to damp out before they reach the ground, and spacing them out makes it harder for them to “pile up” at the nose and tail to create the strong double shocks that merge into a sonic boom.
Schlieren image of a model X-59 tested at supersonic conditions in a wind tunnel. The model is mounted upside-down. The three dark diagonal lines are shock waves originating from the wind tunnel and can be ignored. The fainter lines coming off parts of the aircraft model are the plane’s shock waves.NASA is preparing to test the X-59’s in-flight shocks soon, including with in-air schlieren photography like they’ve done in the past for other aircraft. But we’ve already have a glimpse of what to expect, thanks to wind tunnel testing, shown above. Ignore the three dark diagonal lines in the middle of the image (those are from the wind tunnel, not the model aircraft), and focus instead on the thin bright lines coming off the plane. Those are some impressively subtle shock waves!
