Goodbye, Russia and China! NASA Releases 'Quiet' X-59 Supersonic Aircraft to Replace F-22 Raptor

[@susanorourke6868]

This is one of the best SciFi pieces I have seen in a while

[@markl8111]

The X59 is a test plane, not an experimental fighter. That's not to suggest any knowledge gleaned regarding airflow. Sound damping at mock speeds would benefit any future fighter.

[@DiamondSquidy]

It most likely wouldn’t. There has to be allot of design compromises to make it quiet. I doubt you could make a fighter jet quiet while still having be useful for performing its role as a fighter aircraft. Maybe for some sort of supersonic surveillance drone or sum 🤷🏼‍♂️ but there’s not rlly any need for such a aircraft

[@jbtheamericandriver1217]

The statement that this plane will replace the F-22 Raptor is insane. Have the designers lost their frickin minds..? Smh

[@DiamondSquidy]

The X-59 is being developed for commercial applications…. Supersonic commercial air travel…. Idk what this guy is smoking comparing it to a F-22 💀 that’s like comparing a F-15 to a 747 💀😭

[@drewpike8964]

⁠@@DiamondSquidyI was trying to figure this out. Replace the F22 but testing to fly over land. If I was a fighter pilot I would not want to fly that thing in combat. The blind spots are crazy. Cameras stop working. I know other jets have blind spots but this looks like driving a bus from the back seat with the windows blacked out.

[@raymondfryar1533]

When I was a child back in the 60s sonic booms were a common occurrence.

[@mjhzen8313]

"No forward visibility" seems problematic, folks. Don't you think?

[@Rockoblocko]

No. The design is to limit the shock waves generated at supersonic speeds. Every protruding surface generates shock waves.

[@sirvapalot]

Its not lost on me the relationship between NASA and Military

[@Glock007-os8xn]

This is designed as a commercial jet not military

[@curtisducati]

with one passenger lol ?

[@DT__1]

Oh oh thats how the wars starts isn't 😅

[@simonac688.]

but are they hiding the military version 😳

[@smmilitarytechnology]

Are you mistaken? Please check again.

[@Rockoblocko]

Yes, this video is ridiculous. The X-59 has never ever been designed as a combat demonstrator! I’m an engineer on the project. It is for commercial demonstration.

[@alphabasic1759]

This plane is not a fighter aircraft of any sort. Wherever had you gotten the idea that it is…

[@normanmadden]

Now we need silent supersonic stealth, and we can work on invisibility next......

[@jerryryan5760]

This engine is the best engineering engine ever tested ge 101 . Elon is going to mars using 4 ge 101 engine!❤

[@msms-rl6zf]

Why talk about the f-22 here????

[@johnmoriarty6158]

When ground level in a city it's difficult to tell what you heard. And where it was from.

[@nancycunningham4225]

The F 22 is the most beautiful bird in the world

[@ramsesdizon9987]

Now if they only can they bring back the two astronauts stuck in space.

[@ThomasBestonso-zr4ko]

Damn ACME homemade rockets... beep beep !

[@Rockoblocko]

That’s a completely different company.

[@ramsesdizon9987]

@@Rockoblocko yes, different company but same quality mantra; make money for Wall Street first and quality second.

[@darrenhalstead1303]

maybe replace the SR-72, this thing can't dogfight...

[@michaeltrumper]

The inanity of comparing this with the F-22. A LO air superiority fighter vs a prototype.

[@taylorrichardson850]

NASA!! 😂,Can’t even bring back the 2 poor Astronauts stuck in space at the moment,,,

[@trevorvanbremen4718]

Ummm, that's not NASA... That's Boeing... Y'know, the company that makes the majority of the commercial planes you fly on in USA...

[@rocketmann8333]

Very 1st question..... Answer NO... This aircraft is not a fighter it is a test bed for commercial aviation.

[@johnnybg_1936]

Just call it "Pinokkio".

[@charlesglasgow1760]

???

[@williamwilliam]

First and foremost, NASA should develop reliable space crafts that can bring their astronauts safely to and back from the International Space Station (ISS). Two of their astronauts have been stranded at the ISS since very early June 2024.

[@davecooper3238]

Yep. Don’t know if they are loving their bonus orbits. I for,one would jump at the chance.

[@sirvapalot]

Laws of the land backed up with Power and domination.

[@Glock007-os8xn]

Designed to replace the Concorde

[@alphabasic1759]

It’s not even that fast.

[@rdelrosso1973]

At the 6;32 mark, why is the name "Lockheed Martin" seen as "reverse", as in a mirror?

[@garysilva4549]

Excellent 🌹

[@Pankocik]

Its crazy how similar this plane is in compare to the fictional plane from 1999 game Ace Combat3 like R-101 Delphinus

[@midi1529]

This thing needs about 4-5 more mach to be anything new

[@soteriology400]

Apples to oranges.

[@geirha75]

take it easy sparky,.... we are not there.

[@blackntan150]

Wouldn't this be closer to a replacement for the blackbird? There's no way this thing has the agility of the raptor.

[@Rockoblocko]

It was never intended for what the video is stating. This video is beyond ridiculous.

[@janjangz]

So quiet, you won't hear it any more, everything is on the QT

[@corpusD]

It’s not really a replacement of the F-22. It has more commercial use as it would permit fast overflight over the internal US States at faster speeds. Its current configuration is probably not stealthy, which is more important for a fighter replacement.

[@johnmoriarty6158]

Does it use it's own fuel for cooling?

[@johnbrewer1893]

thats got Nothing to do replacing military..its cmcl….

[@robertsattler8201]

Considering what France achieved decades before, this is a nice but not important advance. Finally any supersonic speed is so expensive, that beside military use it is nice science - but economically no application visible.

[@DiamondSquidy]

The whole point of this is to make the technology cheaper and more available idk why bro is comparing it to fighter jets tho 💀 the X-59 is made for commercial applications

[@seanhaarhoff3726]

Ita definitely not designed to replace the Raptor.

[@wandasmith9180]

From what I know about the American military, if they show you that there's something else in the works.

[@Za-qo4wg]

F-22 never really faced any competition

[@richknudsen5781]

It still doesn't have a peer. But Obraindead didn't like us having such superiority so he got the request for more of them cancelled.

[@smmilitarytechnology]

you really despise other devices

[@Rockoblocko]

YF-23? Seriously 😒

[@calscottoh]

What about the TRB3

[@gfghjfgfghfj]

After about 7:00 or so, the video stops talking about the X59, and talks about the F22 instead

[@jukebox5308]

I’ll listen for $25.00 a week

[@Moxieman]

One person can't be a commercial jet

[@Rockoblocko]

Ugh…. It is a proof of concept for creating an aircraft that does not produce a large supersonic boom.

[@Frakka475]

It doesn’t appear to replace the Raptor roles!

[@martymccreary3831]

you know there watching this

[@penduloustesticularis1202]

A budget of quarter of a billion and they offered the public 25 dollars a week to monitor sound levels??

[@terrencewarren7229]

Well It Ain't Quite Now

[@baronbattles4681]

2000miles = 1/2 of 24,000? What are you talking about?

[@twistedfaith6371]

Its like figthing a UFO boooooom!!!! ❤❤❤ Lets make it a secret sssshhhh they might copy it

[@vonheise]

We have to accept some noise as good citizens. If there is no damage or broken windows, we don't whine about thunder, so why a similar sound or less? My dad had a plane that would rattle dishes or maybe break a window at times when he flew low and fast after WWII and only his mother complained...

[@barryclements8395]

I don’t think a range of 2,000 miles will get you half way around the world !

[@donsmith3167]

Wont even get you Across the US.

[@JeanLouisSlezak]

Skunk, so who’s the director, Pepe le phiou

[@SGlennBodily]

The f22 raptor was not unveiled until 2003

[@cowlevelcrypto2346]

So, manual landing not possible...

[@richardh1467]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Sailor376also]

Aha So that's what I saw. 80 miles west and south of Phoenix.

[@madznicer8827]

1st thing they must do is to replace there space station

[@DT__1]

People for 25 bucks and those who waited for their results hot payed millions of bucks ,interesting. Thats why i never support any kind of surveys screw that...

[@kirkdavis3929]

Ummm, no FREEKING way is that gonna replace a raptor, or an f35 for that matter..

[@bryandanielkochjr5225]

Could be a spy plane like the sr71

[@nouarnaim]

They have it in store 99 cents store 😅

[@iachamoho]

The cold war was over in the 1990's

[@johnsmith100]

More than 1/2 of this video deals with the F-22. Disappointing.

[@John-y6d3y]

Why do nasa(never a Straight answer )alway reveals its assist?

[@Pappa052]

How is this going to replace the raptor lmaro it's designed for high altitude travel not fighting

[@WormsHere]

This is not a fighter design. Get your facts right.

[@rolandogetuya1776]

Guys your arogance can't win war.

[@Slave10110]

"As the cold war heated up in the 1990's." ......... That has to be the strangest way to say it came to an end that I've ever heard. That is what they were trying to say, right? Because that terminology makes it sound like tensions escalated. Which is umm... Not what happened since the Soviet Union experienced a hostile take over and management restructure, and the new management began downsizing until it was only Russia that remained.

[@chiroptera6215]

One of these planes is meant to turn on a dime and wipe out half a squadron in seconds.(among other things) The other is mostly meant to fly really fast, in a straight line. One IS NOT replacing the other.😂

[@raymondfryar1533]

If we have one China probably has two. Hope not.

[@choward874]

The F-15 had wartime competition to prove itself. The f-22 didn't not. So we'll probably never know how formidable it really is.

[@Laurentiu-du9kq]

Meh!This is a 60'-70' old proiect reactualized.F22 was a 70-80 proiect and F35 a 90' proiect.Where is Aurora?

[@robertcoffey9529]

Fly over my neighborhood

[@jerryanderson5198]

U.S.A the pc is ours

[@sirvapalot]

Its an arms race that doesn’t translate to commercial success

[@patricksayavong-ii1tc]

X59 is not even close to F22 Raptor even just for the speed alone. F22 flies at 1500 mph (1.9x the speed of sound). X59 only able to get up to 1.5 time the speed of sound.

[@sirvapalot]

Dont worry its alright everything works out your new masters will feed you if ypu work 80 hours a week

[@purplecreamband]

Doesn't compare to the F22 only goes 925 mph

[@salonsospain]

12K

[@SGlennBodily]

The Chinese j20 looks a lot like an f22 raptor

[@DiamondSquidy]

Why is bro comparing the X-59 to a F-22? 💀😭💀 bro what are you smoking 😭 X-59 is made for commercial applications…. F-22 is a fuckin fighter jet 💀🤦‍♂️

[@nappozulp4199]

Request from a taxpayer: Please change the color of the aircraft.

[@tramp2827]

Here we go again. You guys lost Musk's UFO fighter?? Oh Boy!

[@bluethunder1951]

Wow is that going to rescue the nasa astronauts stuck in space, 🤓

[@TerryButterfield]

NASA doesnt release Jack.

[@James-Belinda]

Oooooh! NASA has another pile of parts. Lol

[@petercrossley1069]

Stop saying “advancement”. The word is “advance”.

[@johnpitt2742]

why do they fit 180w panels on the roof of vans when you can get a400w panels for the same money and take the same area if only i could make my only van i would fit 3 400w panels on a pole on the A frame of the van it would fold for travel and be opened for use and be rotated to face the direction of the of the light and adjusted when ever desired

[@sean6147]

Would you call someone with a record of 0-0, the heavyweight boxing champion just based on looks? Nothing is battle tested against the best yet. US only brings its best out against those who are the weakest with not even sophisticated air defence 😂😂

[@nightfiredc]

Not built for the same mission

[@rodneyhirsch2340]

Don’t believe a word

[@SGlennBodily]

I belive your history of the jet is incorrect

[@robertchristianson1187]

Perhaps the can get off of their asses and build something to go recover their astronauts
