The X-59 is being developed to demonstrate quiet sonic boom technology. Data was obtained via two test entries in the NASA Glenn Research Center’s 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel to calibrate the X-59’s nose air data probe. The first entry tested two theoretically identical probes with the intention of one of the probes becoming the primary X-59 nose air data probe flight hardware and the other becoming a backup. A measurement accuracy and uncertainty analysis was performed on data obtained from the first test entry. The analysis showed that the uncertainties in the probe pressures were nearly identical for the two probes, with an average difference of 2.51 x 10-5 for the non-dimensional total pressure and 2.88 x 10-5 for the non-dimensional static pressures. The analysis also showed that the uncertainty in the probe yaw and pitch angles were 0.00034° and 0.01416°, respectively. This gives confidence in the X-59’s flight air data system.
