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.

X-59 Team Reflects on Completing First Flight

X-59

After years of design, development, and testing, NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft took to the skies for the first time on Oct. 28, 2025, marking a historic moment for the field of aeronautics research and the agency’s Quesst mission. Now, hear from the team who helped make it happen, including test pilot Nils Larson, as they reflect on the accomplishment. For this initial flight, the aircraft flew at about 12,000 feet and slower than the speed of sound. These conditions allowed the team to conduct in-flight system and performance checks. Next, the X-59 will undergo a series of test flights where the plane will operate at higher altitudes and supersonic speeds to ensure it meets performance and safety expectations.
