X-59 Model Tested in Japanese Supersonic Wind Tunnel

X-59 Model Tested in Japanese Supersonic Wind Tunnel NASA and JAXA recently tested a scale model of the X-59 experimental aircraft in a supersonic wind tunnel to assess noise levels underneath the aircraft. The test, which was the third round of wind tunnel tests for the X-59 model, aimed to gather data on how air […]

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 F-15s Validate Tools for Quesst Mission

NASA F-15s Validate Tools for Quesst Mission NASA has successfully validated tools designed to measure and record shock waves produced by its X-59 quiet supersonic experimental aircraft, flying two F-15 research jets at speeds over Mach 1.4. The validation flight campaign, conducted in May, used three key tools: a near-field shock-sensing probe, an Airborne Location […]

NASA Calibrates Second Shock-Sensing Probe for X-59 Testing

NASA Calibrates Second Shock-Sensing Probe for X-59 Testing NASA has calibrated its second shock-sensing probe for testing the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft, which will help researchers understand how shock waves behave near the aircraft. The new probe is mounted on an F-15D research aircraft and will capture data on shock waves generated by the X-59 […]
