NASA’s X-59 Supersonic Jet Takes Historic First Flight, Paving Way for Quiet Supersonic Travel
NASA’s X-59 experimental jet has completed its first flight, demonstrating quiet supersonic technology that could one day allow faster-than-sound travel over populated areas. The test marks a major step toward lifting U.S. restrictions on supersonic flight and could revolutionize commercial aviation.

NASA's X-59 Supersonic Jet Could Take You From New York To London In Half The Time
The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA's Quesst mission, which aims to demonstrate quiet supersonic flight by reducing the loud sonic boom to a quieter "thump."

Supersonic Jets Are Making A Comeback, But Are They Worth It?
Boom Supersonic's XB-1 supersonic demonstrator aircraft is now the first piloted non-military aircraft to break the sound barrier since the Concorde was retired from service.

NASA’s X-59 Jet Conducts Afterburner Test for Supersonic Flight Performance
NASA’s X-59, part of the Quiet SuperSonic Technology (Quesst) programme, has successfully completed afterburner tests, bringing it closer to achieving quieter supersonic flight. Built by Lockheed Martin, the X-59 is designed to break the sound barrier without generating the disruptive sonic booms typically associated with supersonic travel. The r...
