     • The shockwaves formed by a plane flying at supersonic speeds merge as they travel towards the ground. The low-boom aircraft changes the way the shockwaves merge and causes a quiet “thump” instead of a “boom.”

   Can supersonic planes fly without a boom?

   • But if NASA can prove that supersonic planes can fly without the boom, it could open up supersonic travel to a new generation. The X-59 could pave the way for private companies and airlines to reintroduce supersonic flights to everyday passengers, all across the world.

   Can a QueSST fly without a sonic boom?

   • The space agency has completed a preliminary design review of its QueSST aircraft concept and found that it is capable of fulfilling objectives for what NASA calls “Low Boom Flight Demonstration,” which basically means it should be able to fly at supersonic speeds without that noisy sonic boom.

   How can NASA make supersonic flight over land possible?

   • NASA is researching how to make supersonic flight over land possible through the Low Boom Flight Demonstrator (LBFD) project. This project oversees the development of the X-59 research aircraft, which will use quiet supersonic technologies to fly over communities as part of the Quesst mission.

   Can X-59 fly supersonic without a boom?

   • Quesst is NASA's mission to demonstrate how the X-59 can fly supersonic without generating loud sonic booms and then survey what people hear when it flies overhead. Reaction to the quieter sonic "thumps" will be shared with regulators who will then consider writing new sound-based rules to lift the ban on faster-than-sound flight over land.

   What is a sonic boom?

   • She originally hails from Sydney but now calls San Francisco home. For decades, flying faster than the speed of sound has meant speeding across the skies in an aircraft that creates a powerful sonic boom -- a huge noise that travels down to the ground below like a crack of thunder.

   What is Lockheed Martin X-59 Sonic Boom?

   • In collaboration with NASA's Quesst Mission, the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® team is solving one of the most persistent challenges of supersonic flight – the sonic boom. The X-59 will be used to collect community response data on the acceptability of a quiet sonic boom generated by the unique design of the aircraft.
