Behold The X-59 Quiet Supersonic Test Jet’s Absolutely Epic Schnoz
The experimental X-59 Quiet Supersonic Technology aircraft, or QueSST, built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works for NASA, is taking shape.
The experimental X-59 Quiet Supersonic Technology aircraft, or QueSST, built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works for NASA, is taking shape.
The Skunk Works-built X-59 that could revolutionize supersonic travel is getting closer to its first flight.
NASA’s new very high-speed camera paired with the ‘Schlieren’ photography concept will help in the development of practical supersonic air travel.
Even older jets could help bolster the organization’s ability to conduct important aviation research.
The pilot will use video cameras to see through the plane’s long nose, a feature that could become standard on future supersonic planes.
NASA is leaping back in the manned x-plane business in dramatic and exciting fashion.
