NASA just flew a jet at 925 mph without sonic boom noise: Breakthrough could cut travel time by half
NASA's experimental X-59 aircraft has successfully completed its first flight, demonstrating the ability to break the sound barrier with a quiet "thump" instead of a sonic boom. This breakthrough, developed with Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, could pave the way for silent supersonic passenger travel, potentially revolutionizing long-haul flights within the next decade.
