The X 59 will soon take to the skies with an unusual mission to be as quiet as possible.

It is also known as the Quiet Supersonic Technology Demonstrator , or QUEST.

This unconventional jet could lead to two hour New York to London flights in supersonic airliners that are faster than the Concorde .

NASA 's X 59 is designed to fly at speeds of Mach 1.4 or just above 1000 mph .

It is powered by a modified General Electric F414GE100 engine, which is similar to engines found in the Navy Super Hornet.

The X 59 Sonic boom is estimated to have APL of 75 , which would be equivalent to the PL of a car door being slammed across the street.

As the technological development around the X 59 quest continues, there will be many more milestones and breakthroughs to discuss.

These may include progress in the testing phases, regulatory developments allowing supersonic flight over land.

As each development unfolds, I will continue to chronicle this exciting journey by creating new videos to keep you informed.
