2:23Now PlayingNASA’s groundbreaking X-59 supersonic jet took off from Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, marking the first test of a jet designed to fly faster than sound without the explosive boom. Built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, the aircraft can cruise at 55,000 feet and reach speeds up to 925 MPH, producing a soft “thump” instead of a sonic blast.
