The X-59 jet is NASA’s answer to that problem. Featuring a needlelike tip, it’s designed to travel at more than 1,000 miles per hour—about twice as fast as a commercial jet—while limiting the noise of ...

Though the X-59 was designed to negate the “sonic boom” typically found on supersonic aircraft, it has stayed well short of supersonic speeds—at least for now. NASA’s X-59 experimental aircraft, part ...

It’s been over a decade since engineers officially got to work on the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST). Designed in collaboration with NASA, Lockheed Martin’s state-o ...

A successor to Concorde capable of traveling from London to New York in less than four hours has achieved a significant testing milestone. NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft completed its ...

A "son of Concorde" that could fly from London to New York in under four hours has passed a milestone test. NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft flew with its "wheels-up" for the first time ...

Just a few days after it announced it was getting ready to conduct the second test flight of the X-59, the American space agency NASA cleared the experimental aircraft to take off in its most ...

NASA wants to make supersonic flight quieter and engineers in Cleveland are helping to make that happen. The X-59 plane took its first flight in October.
