@0xDaud You might be thinking of the Southern Delta Aquarids, which peak in late July! The Eta Aquarids peak on May 5-6, but you can still see them throughout the month.

Envelope expansion isn't just about going higher and faster for an X-plane like NASA's quiet supersonic X-59. It's also about understanding how a one-of-a-kind aircraft operates in flight. With each maneuver, engineers collect data and learn more about the aircraft's performance. Learn more about the X-59's most recent flight test maneuvers here: go.nasa.gov/48D7Ngu
