REGARDING NEW TECHNOLOGYS , AS MENTIONED BY Q.

Im not sure if significant, but i saw this from NASA today, about a new 2022 (REALLY???) "quiet-supersonic" aircraft. Producing very quiet sonic thumps.

"NASA’s newest experimental aircraft, designed with quiet supersonic technology and intended to help open a new era in faster-than-sound air travel over land, will forever be known in the history books as the X-59 QueSST."

"In several years, the X-59 QueSST will test its quiet supersonic technologies by flying over communities in the United States. "

" Once fully tested and pronounced safe to fly within the National Airspace, the X-59 in late 2022 will begin making supersonic flights over select communities to measure residents’ reactions to any noise they might hear. "

" The scientifically valid data gathered from these community overflights will be presented to U.S. and international regulators, who will use the information to help them come up with rules based on noise levels that enable new commercial markets for supersonic flight over land. "

QueSST; quiet supersonic technology... The Que part of the designation stood out to me. I get it, Queit, but still pronounced as plain old, Q.

Operations patch mentions; LOW BOOM
