NASA's X-59 supersonic jet could fly you from New York to Paris in half the time

NASA's X-59 supersonic jet, dubbed the "son of Concorde," has completed low-speed taxi tests, advancing toward its first flight. Engineered with "quiet supersonic technology," it aims to minimize sonic booms, potentially revolutionizing air travel by significantly reducing flight times between major cities. This progress could pave the way for commercial supersonic flight over land.
