NASA says its X-59 low-boom demonstrator exceeded Mach 1 for the first time during a test flight from Edwards Air Force Base, advancing the Quesst program’s objective of enabling overland supersonic flight without a sonic boom. The milestone builds on earlier low-speed and early supersonic validation steps.
