NASA's X-59 Quiet Supersonic Aircraft Fires Up Engine For The First Time Ahead Of First Flight
X-59's engine started for testing for the first time. NASA's Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology") mission recently reached a key milestone as it began testing the engine that will power the X-59, an experimental supersonic aircraft developed by Skunk Works for NASA's Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project.
