NASA revealed its X-59 aircraft in Palmdale, Calif. on Friday, as part of the agency's Quesst mission to make commercial supersonic flight possible. Quesst is NASA's mission to demonstrate how the X-59 can fly supersonic without generating loud sonic booms and then survey what people hear when it flies overhead.

For the first time, the public saw the painted aircraft, which was unveiled during a ceremony hosted by prime contractor Lockheed Martin Skunk Works.

Earlier this week, two U.S. setbacks illustrated the risks of NASA's plans to bet on a new strategy of relying heavily on private companies.

Fresh delays in the U.S. space agency's Artemis moon program and a propulsion issue that doomed American company Astrobotic's recent robot moon lander illustrate the difficulties faced by the only country to have set foot on the moon, as it tightens budgets while carrying on its cosmic legacy.
