NASA and Lockheed Martin debut the X-59, a groundbreaking supersonic aircraft aimed at revolutionizing air travel. The experimental plane, part of NASA's Quesst mission, seeks to gather data for reconsidering regulations on commercial supersonic flight over land. The X-59 promises to fly at 1.4 times the speed of sound, generating a quieter sonic thump, potentially paving the way for a new era of faster and quieter commercial aircraft.
