TL;DR Summary
NASA and Lockheed Martin have unveiled the X-59, a new supersonic aircraft dubbed "son of Concorde," capable of flying from New York to London in just 3.5 hours. The 100-foot long, 30-foot wide plane is part of NASA's Quesst mission and is designed to produce a less disruptive sonic boom, potentially revamping commercial air travel.
