The sleek, elongated design of the X-59's fuselage, with the cockpit positioned above the body, helps streamline the aircraft, preventing supersonic booms from occurring behind it.

Currently, NASA is collaborating with Lockheed Martin in hopes of revitalizing commercial supersonic flight by minimizing sonic booms. Their X-59 QueSST (Quiet SuperSonic Technology) project aims to eliminate the speed limit on land when supersonic booms are no longer a concern. Other aircraft, like the Northrop F-5E Tiger II, demonstrated in 2003 that the shape of the aircraft can reduce the intensity of supersonic booms. The X-59 is designed to go even further, creating supersonic booms of only about 75 decibels, equivalent to the sound of a washing machine.
