Putting the X-59 to the Test
Putting the X-59 to the Test NASA and JAXA conducted a wind tunnel test on a scale model of the X-59 aircraft to assess noise levels underneath the plane. The test was an important milestone for NASA’s one-of-a-kind X-59, designed to fly faster than sound without causing loud sonic booms. This marked the third round […]

NASA Advances Pressure Sensitive Paint Research Capability
NASA Advances Pressure Sensitive Paint Research Capability NASA has advanced its pressure sensitive paint (PSP) research capability by introducing “unsteady” pressure sensitive paint (uPSP), which allows for faster and more detailed analysis of aerodynamic forces. The new uPSP technology enables researchers to study the effects of turbulent air on aircraft and rocket designs, providing valuable […]
