NASA SuperSonic Low Boom Airplane Concept

Handout- In the high desert of California, some of the most important aircraft in aviation history have been built and flown. NASAs X-59 QueSST (short for Quiet SuperSonic Technology) is an experimental piloted aircraft designed to fly faster than sound without producing the annoying if not alarming sonic booms of previous supersonic aircraft. It is the latest craft to take shape at Skunk Works, a renowned Lockheed Martin division that for the past 76 years has used a unique approach to design and manufacturing that has produced the nations most advanced airplanes. This artist's concept of NASAs QueSST jet reflects the airplanes final configuration following years of research and design engineering. The jet is now under construction by Lockheed Martin at the companys Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California.
