2024年3月5日 · Designed to help the U.S. and allies leverage emerging technologies to create a resilient multi-domain network. The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® team is addressing a longstanding challenge in supersonic flight – the sonic boom – through a collaborative effort with NASA's Quesst Mission.

2025年1月27日 · Lockheed Martin has been building the X-59 for NASA, as part of a project to develop a "quiet" supersonic aircraft that can break the sound barrier without producing the thunderous sonic booms...

2024年1月12日 · As NASA's newest X-plane, the X-59 is designed to break the sound barrier without the thunderous sonic booms that typically occur when aircraft go supersonic. Instead, the Quesst will make a much...

The X-59 is an experimental supersonic aircraft shaped to reduce the loudness of a sonic boom reaching the ground to that of a gentle thump. The X-plane accomplishes this by a tailored design that separates the shock waves that produce sonic booms, making them quieter.

On Friday (Jan. 12), NASA and Lockheed Martin will unveil the X-59 Quesst, a radical new supersonic jet designed to break the sound barrier without creating a thunderous sonic boom. "This is...
