Ultrasound can rotate two ways

Recently, NASA has decided to donate $ 100,000 to design a supersonic aircraft capable of tilting 90 degrees in four-star star-shaped Ninja to become a passenger aircraft. future.

The design of the two-way supersonic aircraft was crossed at a 90-degree angle by Ge-Chen Zha, a aerospace engineer at Florida State University. It can save fuel at supersonic speeds without causing noise such as the Concorde Jetliner when flying over densely populated areas.

The supersonic airplane can deliver fuel efficiency at subsonic and ultrasonic speeds due to the ability to switch positions in the air, thanks to its turbofan engine that can be rotated independently. Fly with the always forward direction.

However, this feature can cause annoying noise for passengers. However, the rotation is only about one-tenth of the gravity, less than other types of aircraft.

In recent times, the US government and aircraft manufacturers are promoting ultrasound, including aircraft that can fly five times faster than sound. Most recently, the US tested the unmanned X-51A WaveRider but failed.
