Shockwaves never looked so smooth Ames researchers created a... supercomputer simulation of the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft to analyze the vehicle's potential performance. The dark and bright regions represent shockwaves and pressure variations. Weaker shockwaves spread from the lower surface of the aircraft, resulting in reduced noise at ground level.

✈️ A historic moment for the X-59 and NASA's... Quesst mission. Watch the moment the X-59 exceeded the speed of sound for the first time ever, marking a major milestone on the path toward demonstrating quiet supersonic flight over land. The display shows Mach 1.07, but the aircraft is actually at Mach 1.0. The difference comes from the system's calibration, which makes the shown value slightly higher than the true speed. The calibration will continue fine-tuning as we expand the X-59's flight envelope. Learn more: #NASA #X59 #Quesstshow more
