The team at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California, merged the major sections of the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology aircraft, which includes the wing, tail assembly, and fuselage or forward section. This marks the first time the X-59 resembles an actual aircraft.

I wonder how many Chinese engineers Lockheed Martin has assigned to the project.

“Eventually the 30-foot-long nose of the aircraft will be mounted to the fuselage”

Any guesses how an air crew is going to be able to safely taxi, take off & land a plane where the cockpit sits 30-ft behind the nose? Oh wait? The engineers are the experts and like the CDC us peons aren’t supposed to use our common sense evaluating the situation.

Artist rendition of the completed aircraft. That is one crazy setup for the cockpit. Basically no forward windows due to, I suppose, an attempt to reduce the fuselage cross-section. Probably uses a display screen for the pilot so he can "see" forward.

——Mongoose is a tool with the ability to weave together composite wing skins using ultraviolet light to bind the composite material. ——

That would be an ultra violet cured epoxy similar that my dentist uses to glue in a crown or cure a filling
