This is not a render. This is the X-59, a single-seat X-plane aiming to reduce the sound of the sonic boom to a mere thump. It opens the possibility for commercial supersonic flights over land, which has been prohibited since 1973. Be on the lookout for first flight!

We're building on a century of daring innovations. We delivered our first KC-46 to the U.S. Air Force in 2019. Now, 153 KC-46A multi-mission aerial refuelers are on contract globally. From the DH-4B to the Pegasus, Innovation Quarterly steps through 100 years of aerial refueling: https://lnkd.in/gKkQgeAN #KC46 #TankerTuesday

Our James Webb Space Telescope launched into space two years ago today—Dec. 25, 2021. Since its first images were revealed to the world on July 12, 2022, Webb has given humanity a new perspective on the universe as it studies faraway galaxies, planets orbiting distant stars, and our own solar system. Have you seen *all* of these photos? Take a look back: https://lnkd.in/emAFSSiW
