Or work at companies that are designing and building new commercial supersonic aircraft? Before any of that can happen, we have to lower the boom \u2013 the sonic boom, that is, which today is what prohibits commercial aircraft from flying at supersonic speed over land. NASA\u2019s aeronautical innovators are building the X-59 Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) aircraft, which generates a \u201csonic thump,\u201d and will be flying it over U.S. communities to collect data from people on the ground. Can we lower the boom enough to open up a new market?

What do we need to make sure these new entrants fly safely? How do multiple drones in the same area navigate around each other and around people and buildings and mountains and even other aircraft? How do drones adapt their flight patterns to changing weather conditions, especially wind? Where\u2019s the system that can manage all of this? NASA\u2019s aeronautical innovators have been testing a system that can safely integrate drones into less-populated to densely-populated urban areas.

When thinking of aircraft that would use electricity for some or all of its propulsion, it\u2019s okay to think of the hybrid concept where both conventional fuel and electricity are used during specific times of the trip. But that\u2019s where it ends. Because aircraft have to get off the ground, carrying themselves and cargo and passengers. Weight and the propulsive force needed to lift off the ground makes designing electric-supported systems for aircraft a bigger challenge. But the benefits are enticing \u2013 near zero emissions and in most case a lot less noise. NASA\u2019s aeronautical innovators are several approaches to electrified aircraft, from the X-57 all-electric general aviation-sized aircraft, to hybrid options for larger single-aisle commercial transports. What we\u2019ve learned so far about batteries, aircraft design, electrical systems for aircraft, pilot training for electrical systems and more is already being shared with parts of the aviation community interested in electrified flight.
