NASA’s X-59 Quesst supersonic aircraft revealed in California

NASA's X-59 Quesst supersonic aircraft was unveiled at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California on Jan. 12, 2023. Full Story: https://www.space.com/nasa-x-59-quesst-supersonic-jet-unveiled The X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (Quesst) jet has been under construction at Lockheed Martin's "Skunk Works" facility in Palmdale, California since 2019. The experimental X-59 Quesst is designed to fly at supersonic speeds and reduce the typical sound of sonic booms, lowering the volume down to a "thump" similar to the sound of a car door slamming. NASA says the aircraft could help reshape regulations that currently prohibit supersonic flight over populated areas due to disruptions that sonic booms can cause.
