Quesst is the result of a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and NASA to build a supersonic aircraft that can fly over land. It just took off.

NASA is working on an experimental piloted aircraft designed to fly faster than sound, all without producing the annoying, if not sometimes alarming, sonic booms.

The X-59 QueSST aims to be the first supersonic aircraft to reduce the "boom" to a "thumb" and overcome one of the great ...
