NASA’s X-59 just cleared a huge milestone with its first supersonic flight. Next up: the first mission conditions flight at Mach 1.4 and an altitude of 55,000 feet, key for future community overflights.

Bonus: You can follow the upcoming flight live on NASA’s flight tracker.

Follow the Quesst blog for what’s coming next in the mission!

Big news from NASA Langley! 🎉

We’re putting the finishing touches on our agency’s newest wind tunnel, the Flight Dynamics Research Facility (FDRF). The FDRF will enable advanced testing of aircraft and spacecraft as we push the boundaries of flight and exploration.

Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the FDRF’s build-out and learn how it will power the next generation of aerospace innovation✨: https://t.co/otNiV4x3Hb
