QueSST Supersonic LBTD

This is it…the forerunner of supersonic travel over land. The Concorde flew fast only over water because of the sonic boom. The X-59 Low Boom Flight Demonstrator is designed to eliminate the problem. Aircraft manufacturers will be able to design to new rules. Imagine LAX to JFK so fast you can only watch one movie! Here’s the plan.

Six decades of NASA's supersonic research is leading the way into a new era of aviation. This research has resulted in cutting-edge technology and a unique aerodynamic design that will demonstrate the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound without creating a loud sonic boom.
