Update: 2025-11-04
Description
Lockheed Martin's X-fifty-nine prototype takes a significant leap towards quiet supersonic travel. On November fourth, the aircraft completed its first flight, confirming its airworthiness. Designed to reduce the loud sonic boom, the X-fifty-nine features a long, thin body and a unique engine placement. If successful, this technology could pave the way for overland supersonic flights, potentially reducing travel times and benefiting both passengers and the economy.
