Edwards

NASA's experimental X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft is preparing for its second flight from Edwards, California, marking the start of envelope expansion tests. The flight will set the pace for more testing in 2026.

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, is hosting Partnership Days in April 2026 to foster collaboration on advanced research and development. The event targets industry leaders, government agencies, and organizations interested in aerospace, autonomy, and sustainability innovations.

Bradley Flick, director of NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, will retire on March 19, ending a nearly 40-year career. Troy Asher will serve as acting center director starting March 20.
