A neat holiday project if you need something to do.

From the post:

>The aircraft is a part of the Quesst mission, which has two goals: design and build NASA’s X-59 research aircraft with technology that reduces the loudness of a sonic boom to of a gentle thump to people on the ground; and fly the X-59 over select U.S. communities to gather data on human responses to the sound generated during supersonic flight and deliver that data set to U.S. and international regulators.

yeah, this is a experimental craft mostly to make a "quiet" supersonic and try to eliminate the "boom". There are other reasons but that is the primary "public" reason.

Also, this is for a scale model. If you want to print one. For fun. Ya' know?

DEFCAD enters the chat... Hey guys, we have some plans you can download for F-16, F-15, Tomacats, A10's, B1's. Engine pods are all compatable with the defunkt 737max engines.

raspberryPI enters the chat... Hey guys, we have no nonsense control systems for the gefan 737 max engines and other 'stuff'

This, yeah, I like this. Though. there is a point that I wonder if I could build one of these that is the size of a small SUV that clearly could not hit those speeds but could probably be "scary".
