The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"), sometimes styled QueSST, is an American experimental supersonic aircraft under development by Skunk Works for NASA 's Low- Boom Flight Demonstrator project. [2] . Preliminary design started in February 2016, with the X-59 planned to begin flight testing in 2021.

Mar 28, 2025 · NASA's Quesst mission, which features the one-of-a-kind X-59 aircraft, will demonstrate technology to fly supersonic, or faster than the speed of sound, without generating loud sonic booms.

We revealed the X-59 to the world on Jan. 12. In collaboration with NASA's Quesst Mission, the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® team is solving one of the most persistent challenges of supersonic flight – the sonic boom.

Understanding sound waves, sonic booms, and the speed of sound are key to understanding how the X-59 will quiet the boom. NASA scientists use a lot of technology to explore the science of sound and discover the ways to reduce aircraft noise.

The Intel X58 (codenamed Tylersburg) is an Intel chip designed to connect Intel processors with Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) interface to peripheral devices. Supported processors implement the Nehalem microarchitecture and therefore have an integrated memory controller (IMC), so the X58 does not have a memory interface.

Apr 3, 2025 · NASA’s first purpose-built, supersonic X-plane in decades will soon take to the skies. A single pilot is to fly the 99.7-foot-long, 29.5-foot-wide aircraft powered by a single jet engine. Its design research speed will be Mach 1.4, or 925 mph, flying at 55,000 feet.

Jun 27, 2018 · NASA’s newest experimental aircraft, designed with quiet supersonic technology and intended to help open a new era in faster-than-sound air travel over land, will forever be known in the history books as the X-59 QueSST.

Sep 13, 2012 · To determine part numbers for the Intel X58 Express chipset, we use best guess approach based on CPU model, frequency and features. In some cases our guess may be incorrect. Please use specifications from the compatibility list …

Nov 18, 2009 · Let the fun begin! Step 1: Understanding the X58 chipset. You only need one image to get started and then a little bit of intuition to start understanding it. This is a block diagram, and it shows the relation between the different parts of X58 motherboards.

Jan 19, 2010 · What is the best cpu for the x58? I don't know if should go with a x5675 or a w3690. Are these chips compatible or would i have to mod my motherboard to support either of these chips? I also haven't found any oc guides for x58 + w3690. Are these chips easy to overclock? Motherboard: EVGA X58 3WAY SL...
