NASA’s X-59 second test ends early after cockpit warning
TL;DR Summary
NASA’s experimental X-59 supersonic jet ended its second flight after nine minutes due to a cockpit warning, cutting the planned one-hour mission short. NASA said the data collected on systems and handling— aided by a camera-based cockpit display instead of a traditional windscreen—remains valuable as the program pushes toward higher speeds and muffled sonic booms for over-land flights, with more than 100 flights planned to advance the project.
