Quieting the Boom: Meet NASA's X-59 Supersonic Aircraft | 60 Second Science

Quieting the Boom: Meet NASA's X-59 Supersonic Aircraft | 60 Second Science

What if you could fly from coast to coast in half the time? NASA's Quesst Mission is working to see if that vision can become reality.

Meet the X-59, NASA's quiet supersonic aircraft that will turn sonic booms into sonic "thumps" and could one day cut flight times in half.

The X-59's goal is to expand supersonic flight and provide regulators with data to help change existing national and international aviation rules that ban commercial supersonic flight over land.
