NASA Reschedules Second X-59 Quiet Supersonic Flight for Performance Testing in California Aviation News – NASA has officially rescheduled the second flight of its X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft to Friday, shifting the timeline from its original Thursday window. The mission, departing from the Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, serves as a critical step in evaluating the aircraft's early-stage handling and performance metrics. This second flight follows the aircraft's successful maiden voyage in October 2025, which focused on basic systems checks and initial pilot handling.

Niezwykle cichy samolot naddźwiękowy NASA X-59 QueSST odbył pierwszy lot testowy W październiku NASA wraz z amerykańskim producentem broni i sprzętu lotniczego Lockheed Martin zakończyły pierwszy udany testowy lot swojego eksperymentalnego samolotu naddźwiękowego NASA X-59 QueSST. Prezentuje one technologie, które mają szansę zrewolucjonizować lotnictwo. Umożliwia on bowiem loty z prędkością przekraczającą barierę dźwięku przy znacznie zredukowanym hałasie, co jest kluczowe dla ponownego dopuszczenia lotów naddźwiękowych nad […]

NASA X-59 QueSST wykonał pierwszy lot ✈️ Testy potwierdzają: nad dźwiękiem ma generować „cichy boom” zamiast huku 🔇 Cel: ok. 1490 km/h na 16,8 km i powrót lotów naddźwiękowych nad lądem. Rewolucja po erze Concorde? #NASA #X59 #QueSST

NASA’s Quiet Supersonic Jet Takes Flight The X-59 successfully completed its inaugural flight—a step toward developing quieter supersonic jets that could one day fly customers more than twice as fast as commercial airliners.

Oh, God, I'd like to fly in one of these!

No boom!
