The US space agency “NASA” unveiled an experimental plane that does not have a front window that enables pilots to see what is in front of them, and it flies at the speed of sound.
Where, “NASA” said in a statement: “The highly trained US space agency pilots, instead of a window, will use augmented reality technology to navigate in crowded airspace.” The X-59 uses Quiet SuperSonic Technology, a new system that replaces the pilot’s direct line of sight.
It helps pilots spot other aircraft faster than they can through a regular windshield. The new aircraft features a distinctive 38-foot nose, designed to make it more aerodynamic when flying at high speeds.
“The goal of the X-59 is to reduce the loud take-off sound that comes with traveling faster than the speed of sound,” NASA indicated, noting that “if successful, test flights could lead the way in significantly reducing flight times.” .
Because of the plane’s unique “nose,” the pilot would sit near the middle of the plane, with no window in front of him.
