NASA and Lockheed Martin are set to reveal the X-59 aircraft, designed to enable quiet supersonic air travel and potentially pave the way for commercial supersonic flights.
The aircraft, painted primarily white with “sonic blue” undersides and red accents, aims to mitigate the noise associated with supersonic travel.
Unlike traditional supersonic flights, the X-59 is designed to produce a much quieter sound, with the goal of significantly reducing perceived noise levels. (Trending: Fauci’s COVID Missteps Are Coming Back To Haunt Him)

“We are incredibly excited to reach this step in the mission,” NASA’s Cathy Bahm said.
“When the X-59 emerges from the paint barn with fresh paint and livery, I expect the moment to take my breath away because I’ll see our vision coming to life.”
“The year ahead will be a big one for the X-59, and it will be thrilling for the outside of the aircraft to finally match the spectacular mission ahead.”
NASA plans to gather data on public perception of the aircraft’s sound as part of its mission to potentially revise regulations on supersonic flights over land.
