Rollout of the X 59 Quesst Supersonic Plane ( Official NASA Broadcast)

Watch the rollout of NASA s newly painted X59 Quesst supersonic aircraft live from Lockheed Martin s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California. Quesst is NASA s mission to demonstrate how the X59 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 soundbased rules to lift the ban on fasterthansound flight over land.
