NASA Upgrades F-15s for X-59 Supersonic Chase!
NASA has taken a giant leap in supersonic flight testing by upgrading two F-15D Eagles as chase planes for the innovative X-59 QueSST aircraft. Key modifications include an enhanced life support system adapted from the F-22 Raptor, allowing these jets to operate safely at altitudes up to 60,000 feet and speeds of Mach 2. This ambitious project aims to mend the sonic boom issue, paving the way for supersonic travel overland by 2026. Discover how NASA is shaping the future of aviation!
