NASA has announced the addition of the X-70 to its fleet of experimental aircraft. The new plane will be used to test next-generation aviation technologies.

NASA recently announced the latest addition to its historic X-series of experimental aircraft with the unveiling of the X-70. This new plane is set to be used for testing next-generation aviation technologies as the agency aims to grow its fleet of X-planes.

The X-series has a long history that includes famous aircraft such as the Bell X-1, which first broke the sound barrier nearly 80 years ago, and the more recent X-59 quiet supersonic demo.

While some reports note that the X-70 announcement featured an AI-generated image, further details about the aircraft's specifications and future test flights remain to be seen as the agency continues its developmental efforts.
