NASA's Quesst mission is to lead a government-industry team to collect data that could make commercial supersonic flight over land possible, dramatically reducing air travel time in the United States or anywhere in the world. The centerpiece of the mission is the X-59 aircraft. Here are links to three e-books that are free to download. Each offer a different perspective on the history of supersonic research by NASA and its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.X-43A Flight Makes Aviation History NASA made aviation history with the first and second successful flights of a scramjet-powered airplane…A collection of activities and lessons to learn more about NASA Aeronautics and the science of flight that you can do at home.
