A close-up of NASA\u2019s shock-sensing probe highlights its pressure ports, designed to measure air pressure changes during supersonic flight. The probe will be mounted on NASA\u2019s F-15B Aeronautics Research Test Bed for calibration flights, validating its ability to measure shock waves generated by the X 59 as part of NASA\u2019s Quesst mission to provide data on quiet supersonic flight.<\/div>\n

NASA\u2019s F-15B Aeronautics Research Test Bed performs a calibration flight of the shock-sensing probe over Edwards, California, on Aug. 6, 2024. The probe will measure shock waves from NASA\u2019s X-59, providing data that may change limits for overland supersonic flight from being speed-based to sound-based. This work is part of NASA\u2019s Quesst mission, with the X-59 as its flagship aircraft.<\/div>\n
