Quesst

Scientists recorded sonic booms created by NASA's F/A-18 and F-15D jets for use in the agency's flight test plan for the X-59 Quesst "quiet" supersonic jet.

NASA and Lockheed Martin showed off the finished X-59 Quesst jet today, which promises to usher in a new era of quieter supersonic flight.

NASA and Lockheed Martin are finally ready to unveil the new X-59 Quesst on Jan. 12. The supersonic jet designed to break the sound barrier without creating a thunderous sonic boom.

New photos of NASA's X-59 supersonic plane show the aircraft parked on the flight line as it prepares for a series of ground and initial flight tests.

NASA's supersonic X-59 plane is now one step closer to its flight demonstration over U.S. communities now that it has its 13-foot engine for quiet sonic booms.

"Lockheed Martin is continuing with X-59 production operations."

NASA's experimental, supersonic X-plane is on a fast track to flying.

See the air fold up into ripples.

This November, onlookers will get to hear a so-called "quiet" sonic boom as a supersonic military jet zips through the skies of Galveston, Texas, according to NASA.

NASA's experimental supersonic X-plane project has a new name: the X-59 QueSST.
