X-59 QueSST"quiet" supersonic jet and itsThe X-57 program began in 2016 as part of NASA's Scalable Convergent Electric Propulsion Technology Operations Research Project . NASA set out to build a low-emissions aircraft using electric propulsion to test whether such a machine would be viable for commercial transport.
"The X-57 project has made substantial contributions to the field of electric aircraft propulsion as an initial pathfinder building a knowledge base of expertise that is influencing industry standards and contributing to future electric vehicle demonstrations," said Heather Maliska, X-57 project manager at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
The X-57 was designed to have zero in-flight emissions. The aircraft uses a unique high aspect ratio wing design to make it as efficient as possible for electrified flight.
