X-59: NASA's Quesst for Quiet Supersonic Flight

NASA and Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works designed the X-59 with a very long nose and careful shaping so its shock waves never merge into one loud bang. This NASA documentary follows the aircraft from design to roll-out and explains the Quesst mission's plan: fly over towns, ask residents what they heard, and give regulators the data to rethink the rules.
