The future of flight is about to break the sound barrier, quietly. Meet NASA’s X-59 QueSST, a revolutionary supersonic ...

MAKERS of a supersonic plane have revealed there are more than 600 global routes where Concorde-style speedy flights could slash flying times by as much as half. And a 3.5 hour trip between the UK ...

The Quesst mission involves not only building the X-59 aircraft,but also collecting data on how the noise is perceived by people on the ground, with the aim of getting the ban on supersonic flight ...

NASA engineers fired the engines on the X-59 research aircraft in advance of planned test flights to determine if the aircraft can reduce sonic booms and make supersonic flight over land quieter.

The agency is doing so through a program called Quesst, which is the result of decades of research and is centered around a new aircraft called the X-59, which debuted Friday..

NASA’s X-59 will help change the way we travel, bringing us closer together in much less time,” said NASA deputy administrator Pam Melroy in a statement.
