NASA REVEALS INCREDIBLE X-59: A UNIQUE, EXPERIMENTAL SUPERSONIC JET

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

NASA's X-59 is a supersonic aircraft designed to minimize the sonic boom it creates when it crosses the speed of sound. It can fly at 1.4 times the speed of sound. The project, a joint effort with Lockheed Martin, aims to revolutionize air travel by producing a new generation of commercial jets that can travel faster than the speed of sound. A picture of the research aircraft is available in the article.
