official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft made its second flight on Friday, kicking off a series of dozens of test flights in 2026.  Although the flight duration was abbreviated due to a technical issue, the team was able to collect information that will inform future tests.  “Despite the early landing, this is a good day for the team. We collected more data, and the pilot landed safely,” said CathyContinue reading “NASA’s X-59 Experimental Supersonic Aircraft Makes Second Flight “
