Original Note:
This post is incorrectly conflating a vehicle made for flight in atmosphere (X-59) with a vehicle that flew outside of the atmosphere (Space Shuttle). This post also ignores the fact that the space shuttle was propelled to these speeds with rocket engines. https://www.nasa.gov/reference/the-space-shuttle/#:~:text=After%20the%20solid%20rockets%20are,more%20than%201.2%20million%20pounds. https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/x-59-quiet-supersonic.html
