NASA’s X-59 Quesst Runway Taxi July 18, 2025
July 10, 2025 - NASA’s X-59 Quesst (Quiet SuperSonic Technology) research aircraft with a planned supersonic cruising speed of Mach 1.4 (approximately 925 miles per hour) moves under its own power for the first time at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California. Guided by the aircraft’s crew chief, the event marks the beginning of taxi tests ... a key milestone and the final series of ground tests before first flight.
