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.

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!

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.

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)

France lists the first supersonic Concorde as a historical monument.

France's culture minister Rachida Dati has announced the designation of Concorde Number 1 – a model of the Franco-British supersonic aircraft – as a historical monument.

Imaging a New Era of Supersonic Travel

Supersonic commercial travel was briefly possible in the twentieth century when the Concorde flew. But the window-rattling sonic boom of that aircraft made governments restrict supersonic travel over land. Now a new generation of aviation companies are revisiting the concept of supersonic commercial travel with technologies that help dampen the irritating effects of a plane’s shock waves.

One such company, Boom Supersonic, partnered with NASA to capture the above schlieren image of their experimental XB-1 aircraft in flight. The diagonal lines spreading from the nose, wings, and tail of the aircraft mark shock waves. It’s those shock waves’ interactions with people and buildings on the ground that causes problems. But the XB-1 is testing out scalable methods for producing weaker shock waves that dissipate before reaching people down below, thus reducing the biggest source of complaints about supersonic flight over land.
