X-59<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"page-heading-md\">Specifications on the X-59 Research Aircraft <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-md\">This \u201cfour-view\u201d of the X-59 research aircraft provides specifications of the piloted vehicle that is being built by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. The X-59 is an experimental aircraft only; it is not a prototype design for a commercial airliner and will never carry passengers. Its unique shape and set of technologies reduce the loudness of a sonic boom reaching the ground to that of a gentle thump. It will be flown above select U.S. communities to collect data from residents responding to the X-59\u2019s sonic thump.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/image-detail\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md\" aria-label=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">Download a Large Version of this Graphic<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 desktop:padding-left-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"width-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?w=640\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"X-59 overview showing the plane and it's configurations. 29'7" wingspan, 99'7" overall length.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 71% 50%; object-position: 71% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png 2550w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=300,208 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=768,532 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=1024,709 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=1536,1064 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=2048,1418 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=400,277 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=600,416 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=900,623 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=1200,831 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/x-59-overview-jun-2023-v1.png?resize=2000,1385 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-featured-video bg-carbon-black padding-y-8 padding-x-3 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-featured-video\">\t<div class=\"grid-container-widescreen grid-container padding-x-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-center\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-4 desktop:padding-right-5 padding-bottom-5 desktop:padding-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-featured-videos-video-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"label color-carbon-40 margin-0 margin-bottom-2\">Featured Video<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading-36 color-spacesuit-white margin-top-0 margin-bottom-2\">How NASA’s X-59 May Change the Future of High-Speed Flight<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"color-carbon-20 p-sm margin-bottom-3\">NASA\u2019s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft is the culmination of decades of aeronautics and supersonic flight research. The X-59 is designed to be able to fly supersonic, or faster than the speed of sound, without producing a loud sonic boom. Instead, the X-59 is designed to reduce that boom to a quieter sonic \u201cthump.” The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA\u2019s Quesst mission, which seeks to survey the public\u2019s response to quieter supersonic flight and provide data to regulators to consider removing the current ban on commercial supersonic flight over land, opening the future to reduced flight times around the country and the world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hgcXF1lVT-E?list=PLiuUQ9asub3T98KjSB7xZj6xOUDpxf66t\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-sm link-external-true\"
