Like the C949, the X-59 features a 30-meter needle-shaped nose—nearly half its length—to stretch and disperse shockwaves, while its engine is positioned atop the fuselage to direct noise upward.

The South China Morning Post reported over the weekend that the Chinese state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) is working on a supersonic jet called the C949.

The C949 will compete with similar projects from other countries, such as Nasa and Lockheed Martin’s X-59, with the winner rewriting the rules of global aviation, according to the researchers.

The Comac C949 is to be controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) via a fly-by-wire system. This is necessary to compensate for a possible loss of stability in extreme situations, for example.
