The X-59 just broke the sound barrier and barely made a sound.
On June 5, 2026, NASA and Lockheed Martin's X-59 flew faster than sound for the first time (Mach 1.1). Days later it hit Mach 1.4 at 55,000 ft. But the milestone isn't the speed, it's the silence.
Every supersonic jet before it produced a thunderous sonic boom. That single problem got civilian supersonic flight banned over U.S. land for 50+ years, it's why Concorde could never go full speed over the country.
The X-59 is engineered to replace that boom with a soft "thump" you'd barely notice from the ground.
If it works, regulators get the data to rewrite a half-century-old rule, and supersonic passenger travel over land comes back. New York to LA in half the time.
Built by Lockheed Martin's legendary Skunk Works, the kind of U.S. technology advancements that are tracked by the U.S. Defense ETF $DUTY.

You already believe in AI. But are you invested in what connects it?
The co-packaged optics market is forecast to grow roughly 11x by 2034, and most AI portfolios have zero exposure to the companies building that layer. PHOX brings together the full optical supply chain in one fund: materials, lasers, transceivers, manufacturing, and testing.
The future of computing needs more than compute. It needs the technologies that connect it.
PHOX. Invest in the infrastructure behind AI.

Introducing PHOX, the AI Photonics ETF from Aura ETFs.
3 companies make over half of the world's AI optical hardware. Most AI ETFs hold zero of them.
AI doesn't run on chips alone. Beneath every chip is a connectivity layer moving data between thousands of processors, and most of that hardware is manufactured in China, by companies most AI investors overlook.
It's not just who designs the chips. It's who builds what connects them.
Is your AI exposure narrower than you think?
PHOX. Invest beyond the chip.
