NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft is gearing up for some of its most significant flights yet as teams continue expanding the aircraft’s flight envelope ahead of upcoming tests at speeds faster than sound.
Since the aircraft’s first flight, the X-59 team has spent months evaluating its performance and handling qualities across a growing range of flight conditions. Take a look at the milestones achieved so far that mark steady progress as NASA moves closer to the aircraft’s first supersonic flight.
The upcoming supersonic flights will help engineers evaluate the aircraft’s performance across more of its operating range as teams advance toward later phases of the Quesst mission.

We’ve come a long way! October 14, 1947… Chuck Yeager in a Bell X-1 reaching MACH for the first time! Now NASA X-59 so rocking awesome!
В чем особенности этого самолёта??
The fly-by the tower… it flies, glides… it behaves like it's floating, am I wrong? Beautiful!
Doesn't that plane have a very long nose?
thumbs down for shit muzak
13:01
Suite the same plane than Blake and Mortimer album (ifrench title "le secret de l’espadon")
Nice Looking Aircraft…. Just one engine?
The Flying Needle V2.0. SR-71 pilots are saying 'come catch me bro.'
I just don't believe this technology will ever be commercialized.
Dream High(er)
No safety back plate on the tow truck ? what if the safety pin break ?
Congratulations!
As landing, it seems that the ' long nose ' could easily hit onto the ground.
is this that sonic boom some people heard a few days ago?
It's beautiful and looks like a true X Plane. I'm sure it's a great design and that it will breeze it's way through the test program. One noticeable thing and I imagine you already saw it in the data: with the F-16 nose gear being so far behind the nose, you can see some dip up there under load. No harmonic, just normal dip from dynamic force. Looks like maybe tweaking the spring and damping rates rate might give you a better margin to nose strike. Make sure to take a bow, you're making us proud solving this 50+ year old problem.
I want the videographer's job.
So far I’ve seen this at the Portsmouth airport and Sumter Shaw, so if you want to see it, you might catch it over the next month.
NEW VARIAT OT X-3 STELETO
очередное фуфло от лохов!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Codename: Durante
What’s the speed doing to the human growth cells?
Are you telling me that NASA has not flown this plane at supersonic speed yet? NASA why are you always never on time and always over budget? 👎
What then ? In the Future .
I wll like to ne mine
This aircraft looks like what a kid would draw. lol. It's the Tesla truck of jets.
NASA is just re-living the 1960s these days. Thank God for SpaceX
Awesome!
From watching NASA fly their 104 Starfighters out of Ames (Moffett Field) in 1980 to the X-59. Same chills different day.
I just wanted to see the towbar.
0:14 🔥
The amount of airplane in front of the nose gear looks absolutely rediculous
It's such a pity that aircraft and engine noises drowned out the fantastic rock soundtrack.
This is Zackerria mculliffe I'm checking in with you for real 10-4 I stay with space shuttle discovery Florida Kennedy Park inc. only love you sincerely from lungheen
This looks like the paper planes I would fold as a kid thinking they would be even more aerodynamic. Guess I was on to something 😅
The jet is fast and looks good to mate❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I wish I could be a test pilot.
Great job, this video was very useful!
This is what might have caused the supersonic boom heard across South Carolina
Sonic booms east coast?
Humanity doesn't deserve this level of technology if the Epstein clients roam freely.
Whatever,,nasa is so sus now,,this whole video is probably the most advanced ai ,, funded by tax payers ,,paying for their own deception in ussa,,hilarious you cant make this up while millions starve and by have no health care…😮
was this the sonic boom heard over Mass?
AMIN+!❤
That's cool.
