Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst (Quiet SuperSonic Technology), NASA’s Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator program under which an experimental supersonic aircraft was developed at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facilities. The aircraft’s purpose is to test whether commercial supersonic flight over land can be made viable by significantly reducing the sonic boom generated when exceeding the speed of sound. The program’s long-term goal is to provide scientific data to support the lifting of the United States’

Supersonic aircraft are aerial vehicles capable of exceeding the speed of sound (approximately 1,235 km/h – Mach 1 at sea level). These aircraft can reach speeds between Mach 1 and Mach 5. Achieving supersonic speeds requires specially designed aerodynamic structures, materials resistant to high temperatures and powerful propulsion systems. The shock waves generated in the atmosphere during the movement of aircraft flying faster than sound produce a loud effect known as a sonic boom. This phenom
