That's such a White people thing to do!
Something something Boeing.
Let's see what diversity will bring for the early flights.
The sound thing is not why this plane was made.
In the age of video calls, no one needs to get somewhere in person faster than the speed of sound so badly we need a 247 million dollar jet.
I suspect that this jet was used as an excuse to do research on supersonic military tech or something in the public eye without people thinking it's for military purposes, the same way nasa used it's rocket tech on other things later on.
What is the point of this tiny little jet that looks like it could fit about six people crammed in the back with no leg room.
Let's say the ruling pedo class is afraid that someone like Oprah is going to rat them all out. They get her on one of these flights and then crash it at top speed. Nobody is surviving that, and their secrets die with her, and it looks like a "tragic accident".
nice technology. But they should've asked the french to name that thing. Why X-59? What is wrong with them?
X is the standard designation for non-production prototypes. It has been for decades. The most famous of which is probably the X-29:
I get that. But you also get my point, right? The thing that lifts the plane from being a number to being filled with soul to some extent.
That long, long, long skinny nose looks like it would be a problem in rough turbulence. I'm sure they know the limits it should perform within, but still... at >900MPH I want as much rigidity as possible. But then, bricks aren't very aerodynamic, are they.
Son of Concorde
Yet it only seats, what, maybe 6 people at most? I think they missed the point of Concorde. There are already fighter jets that can go faster than sound.
Bets on how much diverisity went into making this aircraft and how long before it blows up because of that diversity.
