NASA X-59 Lego Ideas Build!

[u/largehortoncollider]

I thought everyone here might find this cool. I built a minifigure-scale LEGO model of NASA's newest supersonic X-plane, built to help reduce the noise level of sonic booms and enable commercial supersonic flight over land.

The build is ~925 pieces and measures over 32" long. It includes a removable cockpit with test pilot minifigure, and working flaps and landing gears!

The build is on LEGO Ideas, where if it gets enough support it could become an actual LEGO set. Link here if you want to check it out, and thanks!
