Paper Airplane Aeronautics Webshop (Space from a Distance with NASA)
Innovators at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center experiment with new wing designs that open up new possibilities for flight. These improvements allow for maximum aircraft performance, increased safety, and lower fuel costs. In 2022, NASA will test the X-59 QueSST - an experimental aircraft that can break the sound barrier, while lowering the noise associated with a sonic boom. The Low-boom Flight Demonstration mission has two goals: 1) design and build a piloted, large-scale supersonic X-plane with technology that reduces…
