"Revolutionizing Air Travel: NASA's Supersonic Jets Redefine Speed and Silence"
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. The aircraft's first flight is scheduled for later this year, with the goal of demonstrating the possibility of quiet commercial supersonic travel over land.
