Comment on NASA, Lockheed Martin Reveal X-59 Quiet Supersonic Aircraft

Which is definitely just a cover because for some reason they don’t want to admit they’re actually developing supersonic stealth planes for the military. Probably because they’re using people’s tax money to do it and tons of Americans are already sick of how much funding their military gets.

I think that is definitely just a cover because they don’t want to admit ~~they’re~~ they’ve actually ~~developing~~ developed supersonic stealth planes for the military.

Ftfy

What they reveal openly is usually from years ago. A couple aerospace friends are always like "yea, we heard scuttlebut about that about 5 years ago, so that means it was already a thing 10 years ago*, haha.

Well hiding the giant boom is probably a good stepping stone to that so yeah

From the eyewitness accounts of whistle blowers, traditional propulsion and modern propulsion are old tech compared to what they have today. Silent and extremely fast already exists.
