NASA’s X-59: Pioneering Quiet Supersonic Flight

NASA’s X-59 aircraft, the centerpiece of the Quesst mission, represents decades of supersonic flight research. After extensive testing, NASA and Lockheed Martin have finalized the aircraft’s unique design, allowing it to achieve supersonic speeds while minimizing the loud sonic boom to a quieter “sonic thump.” This groundbreaking project aims to unlock the future of quiet supersonic flight, paving the way for faster and more efficient air travel.
