✈️ A historic moment for the X-59 and NASA's Quesst mission.
Watch the moment the X-59 exceeded the speed of sound for the first time ever, marking a major milestone on the path toward demonstrating quiet supersonic flight over land.
The display shows Mach 1.07, but the aircraft is actually at Mach 1.0. The difference comes from the system's calibration, which makes the shown value slightly higher than the true speed. The calibration will continue fine-tuning as we expand the X-59's flight envelope.

Envelope expansion isn't just about going higher and faster for an X-plane like NASA's quiet supersonic X-59. It's also about understanding how a one-of-a-kind aircraft operates in flight.
With each maneuver, engineers collect data and learn more about the aircraft's performance.

@MShakeFactory Rusty was one of the first pens I ever saw in person, when he got to wear the A back in 2019 for the preseason game in State College! Good vibes for one of my favs #LetsGoPens
Wheels up for NASA’s X-59. ✈️
In its first wheels-up flight, the aircraft revealed its sleek, streamlined design—key to reducing sonic booms to a quiet thump.
See how this milestone moves us closer to quiet supersonic flight over land:
