"NASA's X-59: A Glimpse into the Era of 'Quiet' Supersonic Commercial Travel"
Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works® has unveiled the X-59, a groundbreaking aircraft designed to minimize sonic booms, potentially revolutionizing commercial supersonic flight. The X-59, developed in collaboration with NASA, aims to gather data to inform new noise standards and possibly overturn the ban on supersonic travel over land. The unveiling event, featuring Lockheed Martin and NASA executives, will be streamed live on various platforms including NASA Television and the NASA app. The X-59's rollout is a significant step towards halving current flight times by enabling faster-than-sound travel across the United States.
