Enabling Supersonic Passenger Flights Over Land

The current limitation of supersonic flights is the sonic boom issue, which prevents them from flying over inhabited areas. The X-59 test bench aims to develop quieter sonic booms, but it is unclear if the generated research can be used to overcome this limitation. The challenge is to find a practical solution to enable supersonic flights without disturbing populated areas.
