Recently, a team from NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) tested a model of the X-59 experimental aircraft. The X-59 aircraft measures around 99.7 feet (30.4 meters) long, with a ...

NASA's Quesst mission aims to revolutionize the future of quiet supersonic travel using the X-59, an experimental aircraft that will allow the team to gather real-world data on acceptable sound levels ...

OSHKOSH – Commercial supersonic flights could be a thing again in the not-so-distant future. Fifty years after passenger supersonic travel over land was banned over noise concerns, NASA believes those ...

Not long is left now until American space agency NASA sends a brand-new research aircraft called X-59 into the sky. Part of the Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) program, it's a piece of equipment ...

As the first flight of NASA’s experimental X-59 aircraft draws near, the agency seems not to waste any chance when it comes to testing the plane’s systems. Why, from time to time it even goes off ...

The NASA team developing the X-59 supersonic demonstrator jet have fired up the aircraft’s GE Aviation F414-GE-100 powerplant for the first time, having started engine-run tests on 30 October. The ...
