At 30 meters long and with a wingspan of 9 meters, the X-59's design incorporates technological innovations that will enable silent supersonic flight. The plane's conical nose, responsible for almost a third of its length, has the function of breaking shock waves, preventing sonic boom.

Another innovative aspect of the X-59 is the absence of a front window in the cockpit. Instead, pilots will rely on the eXternal Vision System, which uses high-resolution cameras to transmit images to a 4K monitor inside the cockpit. This allows a clear view of the outside, even without the traditional front window.
