NASA is testing the X-59, an experimental aircraft designed to fly at Mach 1.4 without producing a traditional sonic boom. By shaping the fuselage and using a 38-foot nose to dissipate shockwaves, the plane produces only a "gentle sonic thump." This technology aims to overturn current laws that prohibit supersonic flight over land due to noise pollution.
