Supersonic Research Aircraft Provides Valuable Insights Despite Reduced Test Time
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft completed its second flight, albeit with a shorter test time than expected. Despite the reduced duration, the aircraft collected valuable data that will contribute to the development of future supersonic aircraft. The X-59 is being tested at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California, as part of NASA’s efforts to advance supersonic research. The test was reported by an unknown source.
