Unveiling the Future of Supersonic Travel! NASA and Lockheed Martin join forces to create the game-changing X-59 Quesst, designed to revolutionize supersonic airline travel. Discover the ...
the X-59 is designed to break the sound barrier without the thunderous sonic booms that typically occur when aircraft go supersonic. Instead, the Quesst will make a much quieter "thump," similar ...
Watch the unveiling of @NASAAero's X-59 aircraft, set to fly this year to test quieter supersonic flight technology. The Quesst mission could help bring a return to supersonic air travel over land.
At the Armstrong Flight Research Center, just outside of Lancaster, California, the space agency is working on the X-59 QueSST (short for Quiet SuperSonic Technology) airplane -- a demonstrator ...

The X-59 Quesst may be "quiet" when it breaks the sound barrier, but it now supports a loud color scheme. NASA's experimental supersonic jet is ready to rock a red, white and blue color scheme ...
The X-59 Quesst (“Quiet SuperSonic Technology”) is an experimental supersonic aircraft being developed at Skunk Works for NASA’s Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project for NASA’s Low-Boom ...
The X-59 aims to change that. The Quesst mission seeks to reduce "the loudness of a sonic boom reaching the ground to that of a gentle thump, if it is heard at all," the agency said. World travel ...
The X-59 is the keystone of NASA’s Quesst mission, which aims to demonstrate supersonic flight that only produces a sonic ‘thump’ rather than the deafening sonic booms that supersonic ...
