GoKawiilNASA unveils X-70 Fractal experimental aircraft for aeronautical research
NASA has revealed the X-70 Fractal, a crewed, subsonic experimental aircraft meant to serve as a research platform, though details remain limited to renderings and some specs. The plane can fly above 45,000 feet, reach speeds near Mach 0.75, travel about 1,700 miles per flight, and carry up to a ton of equipment. NASA says it will enable untested maneuver research and expects a first flight within two years.
