Low-speed wind tunnel test provides important data
Before NASA's quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft can take to the skies, plenty of testing needs to happen to ensure a safe first flight. One part of this safety check is to analyze data collected for the X-59's flight control system through low-speed wind tunnel tests.
The X-59 is central to NASA's Quesst mission to expand supersonic flight and provide regulators with data to help change exist NASA awards contracts for NOAA GeoXO Spacecraft Phase A Study
