      Hate to be pedantic, but it’s test flight not test drive. You don’t drive a jet. Yes, I know that’s the original title

      I live an hour from Palmdale and I have 1200mm of effective focal length ready to go. I wish I knew when I could go see the X-59 outside of the hangar/revetment.

      Is the form of this plane dictated 100% by function and aerodynamics? Or does a little bit of aesthetic design come into play?

      I would assume the shape is completely dictated by aerodynamics, but it’s just cool how it still turns out to just look futuristic.
