"Lockheed Martin and NASA Unveil Supersonic X-59 Jet for Faster Transatlantic Travel"
TL;DR
Lockheed Martin officially introduced its experimental X-59 supersonic aircraft with NASA, aiming to produce a quieter sonic thump instead of a sonic boom as it surpasses the speed of sound. The 99-feet-long aircraft, with a 29-foot wing-span, is set to undergo testing before its first flight in 2024, with the goal of gathering data to support new rules for quiet commercial supersonic flight over land. NASA aims to open new commercial markets for U.S. companies and benefit travelers worldwide through this demonstration.
