💁🏻♀️ 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!

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!

NASA Testing Supersonic Rotors for Mars
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter was the first aircraft humanity has flown on another planet, and engineers are looking to make the next generation of Martian helicopters bigger and more capable. That’s challenging in Mars‘ thin atmosphere, which is only 1% as dense as Earth’s. To get adequate lift, the rotors need to spin faster there.
During Ingenuity’s mission, the team intentionally designed the craft to keep the rotor tips below supersonic speeds. But for the next mission–SkyFall–they’re looking to push the rotorcraft further. In recent tests in a Mars simulator chamber, they successfully spun the new rotors to tip speeds as high as Mach 1.08, significantly increasing the loads SkyFall could carry.

Seeking Quieter Supersonic Flight
Supersonic flight over the U.S. has been banned by all non-military aircraft for more than fifty years. The ban gained momentum in the 1960s after test programs over St. Louis and Oklahoma provoked public outcry. But NASA’s X-59 aircraft is working to lift the ban by softening the sonic booms that encouraged the ban in the first place. Although it hasn’t been tested at supersonic speeds yet, pilots are putting the sharp and skinny X-59 through its paces, slowly widening the flight envelope.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR4Xuslczoo
In the video above, NASA shares footage of some of the recent test flights, including various maneuvers like phugoids, banking rolls, flutter, and landing gear tests. Pay close attention to the pilot’s view and the radio chatter, and you’ll hear that they’re hovering around Mach 0.98 in some cases–just underneath the point of generating a shock wave around the aircraft. It will be neat to see what happens when they finally do go supersonic. Will it be as quiet as promised? (Video credit: NASA; image credit: NASA/L. Losey; see also NASA; via Gizmodo)

@jonty Oh, this is nice! I used it way, way back and recently thought it would be nice to have something similar again and went with #ListenBrainz ( https://listenbrainz.org/ ) which is really nice (once you find a player that actually works with it reliably, I went with #Supersonic ( https://github.com/dweymouth/supersonic/ ) connected to my local #Navidrome instance, can recommend).

Supersonic Jet Interaction
When supersonic jets get emitted into rarefied air, they behave differently than they do in regular atmospheric conditions. Here, researchers picture three different configurations these jets can take. In the top image, the jets are close enough together that they appear to merge into a narrow supersonic jet. In the middle image, the jets are not quite as close together. They merge but form what appears to be a subsonic wake. In the final image, the jets are far enough apart that they don’t merge, although they do appear to “lean in” toward one another. (Image credit: S. Lee et al.)
