Matchup #1 Lockheed Martin Skunk Works: X-59 made in Palmdale Soar into the future with X-59 – a groundbreaking aircraft built in Palmdale, California by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® in collaboration with NASA. The X-59 is a one-of-a-kind experimental aircraft designed to solve a key challenge currently keeping us from flying to destinations in half the time – the sonic boom. The X-59's innovative design keeps shock waves separate at supersonic speeds, transforming the thunderous sonic boom into a gentler sonic thump. NASA will fly the X-59 to gather crucial data needed for regulators to revisit the ban on supersonic flights over land, revolutionizing the future of commercial air travel.
