NASA’s X-59 Soars Above Armstrong Flight Research Center
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft flies above NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, during testing focused on lower-speed and lower-altitude flight conditions in support of NASA’s Quesst mission. NASA continues two-flight days during envelope expansion testing as teams work to better understand how the aircraft responds throughout its operating range.
