NASA’s X-59 Continues Supersonic Flight Testing
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft continues flight testing at supersonic speeds on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, along the Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor in California in support of NASA’s Quesst mission. Initial supersonic flights help the team evaluate the aircraft’s performance as testing progresses toward the speed and altitude planned for future community overflights.
