American space agency NASA said it completed a new series of tests on the X-59 experimental aircraft, putting systems and piloting through their paces.

The X-59 is NASA’s answer to the biggest obstacle in supersonic travel—noise. Engineered to reduce sonic booms to a soft “thump,” this sleek aircraft is designed to fly at Mach 1.4 while ...

The X-59 "quiet" supersonic jet was designed to break the sound barrier without producing the thunderous sonic booms that typically accompany supersonic flight. And based on the results of the ...

Less than a year from the maiden flight, the first civil supersonic jet made by a private company ... The augmented reality is also being used by NASA’s X-59 QueSST. The aerodynamics of the ...

Enter NASA’s latest—and by far sleekest—experimental aircraft, the X-59. The 100-foot-long ... Northrop Grumman’s F-5E fighter jet, a lightweight supersonic aircraft that first took ...

NASA's X-59 aircraft has been marching toward a fest flight since it entered development in 2016 with the goal of bringing back commercial supersonic travel. Next, the agency will test jet-mounted ...

NASA's revolutionary X-59 jet is steadily progressing towards its first flight test. Starting on Oct. 30, engineers with NASA's X-59 Quesst program (Quiet SuperSonic Technology) have been ...
