美国航天局的X-59 Quesst首次成功飞行 测试了安静超音速飞行技术
NASA's X-59 Quesst successfully flew for the first time, testing quiet supersonic flight technology.
美国航天局的X-59 Quesst是一架洛克希德·马丁(Lockheed Martin)制造的实验飞机,目的是制造一个静悄悄的声震,它于2025年10月28日成功完成了从加利福尼亚州帕尔姆代尔飞往爱德华兹空军基地的第一次飞行。
NASA’s X-59 Quesst, a Lockheed Martin-built experimental aircraft designed to produce a quiet sonic boom, successfully completed its first flight on October 28, 2025, from Palmdale, California, to Edwards Air Force Base.
飞行员是NASA的Nils Larson, 这次飞行时间为1小时7分钟, 测试了低音速飞行速度,
Piloted by NASA’s Nils Larson, the 1-hour, 7-minute flight tested basic handling at subsonic speeds up to 250 knots and 12,000 feet, gathering data on flight control, avionics, and structural integrity.
X-59的独特形状旨在将声震减为软震荡, 支持修订FAA禁止陆地超音速飞行的规定。
The X-59’s unique shape aims to reduce sonic booms to a soft thump, supporting efforts to revise FAA regulations banning overland supersonic flight.
今后的阶段将扩大速度和高度,验证声学性能,并评估公众反应,预计到2030年将更新噪音标准。
Future phases will expand speed and altitude, validate acoustic performance, and assess public response, with updated noise standards expected by 2030.
该飞机将继续驻扎在美国航天局阿姆斯特朗飞行研究中心。
The aircraft will remain based at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center.
