What do you think of this technology ?

Lockheed Martin X-59


It looks to be a fragile thing to me.

It isn't (fragile), and it's awesome. I can't wait for it to fly. I wish more of this technology had been around when my design group had to design a High Speed Civil Transport (The eighties version of the SST) for our senior aircraft design course. There was some rudimentary low boom tech at the time, but the research over the last three decades has really advanced the art.

If Jimmy Durante was an airplane?

what I think is crazy is there's no windshield -- forward view will be synthetic vision systems and cameras.

wonder if/when someone makes it for MSFS
