NASA's X-59 completed its first flight, testing quiet supersonic tech to enable future overland supersonic travel.
NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft completed its first flight on October 28, 2025, flying 67 minutes from Palmdale, California, to Edwards Air Force Base.
Piloted by Nils Larson, it reached 230 mph and 12,000 feet while remaining subsonic for safety.
The flight marked the start of NASA’s Quesst mission to prove supersonic flight over land can be done without disruptive sonic booms.
The X-59’s unique shape redirects shock waves to create quiet sonic thumps.
Future tests will assess performance and sound levels at higher altitudes and supersonic speeds, with public feedback helping shape future regulations for commercial supersonic travel.
