Cross-country travel could one day look very different if NASA’s newest experimental aircraft lives up to its promise as its prepares to make history in the California desert. The agency’s X-59, a futuristic jet designed to fly faster than the speed of sound while dramatically reducing the noise that has plagued supersonic aircraft for decades, is now preparing to begin a new block of test flights that will include its first supersonic flights. “Flying at supersonic speeds is a major milestone for the X-59 team,” project manager Cathy Bahm said.
