If the studies with the X-59 go well and they successfully create a ‘quiet’ sonic boom, how do you scale this up? Potentially to airliners and transport aircraft?

What characteristics of the X-59 give it the ability to create ‘quiet’ sonic booms? Will this technology allow supersonic flights over the continental U.S? Do you think there will have to be policy changes before things like supersonic flights become the new normal?
