More than two decades since the Concorde supersonic airliner last took to the skies, NASA has been flying an experimental ...
NASA’s X-59 is quietly reaching significant milestones.
NASA’s X-59 aircraft has finally flown faster than the speed of sound, bringing us one step closer to supersonic flight without the loud, thunder-like clap noise that comes with it. The experimental ...
NASA’s futuristic X-59 jet is about to face its biggest challenge yet: breaking the sound barrier for the first time. After a successful series of test flights that pushed the aircraft to ...
NASA’s X-59 QueSST flew faster than the speed of sound for the first time, expanding into the supersonic portion of its flight envelope. NASA’s experimental X-59 QueSST (Quiet SuperSonic Technology) ...
The United States banned supersonic flights over its land in 1973 due to their ear-splitting sonic booms. Experts are building a plane that should travel at those speeds but create only gentle thumps ...
NASA's experimental aircraft reached a major milestone last week by achieving supersonic speed. It's a first for the agency ...
The milestone comes after a busy testing period for NASA. Since the first flight on 28 October 2025, the team has completed 16 flights in the last 90 days NASA’s experimental X-59 aircraft has flown ...
NASA’s experimental X-59 plane is one step closer to making faster-than-sound flight quiet after the aircraft flew supersonic for the first time on June 5, reaching a peak speed of 713 miles per ...
There might come a time, soon enough, when commercial supersonic flight over land could be possible all over the world. If that happens, history will probably remember the X-59 experimental aircraft ...
