NASA has successfully powered up the engine of its super-quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft for the first time on October 30, marking a critical step towards its maiden flight. The X-59, also known as the 'quiet' supersonic jet, aims to reduce the noise typically associated with supersonic travel. This development comes as part of NASA's broader efforts to test and validate technologies for quieter supersonic travel.
