Nemesis NXT
Presented Online
Presenter: Jeremy Kinney
In 2008, Nemesis NXT became the first kit-built airplane to fly faster than 400 mph. Pilot and co-designer Jon Sharp and NXT dominated the sport-class at the 2009 Reno Air Races with the renowned “record a day, and two on Sunday” performance that generated five new speed records and a fourth consecutive national championship. In this week's Ask an Expert on Facebook Live, join aeronautics curator Jeremy Kinney on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the artifact in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, in Chantilly, Virginia.

Every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. we will go live on the National Air and Space Museum Facebook page with an Ask an Expert talk. We’ll select a different aviation or space topic each week, and a Museum staff member will discuss the history, stories, or personalities related to a specific artifact or exhibition in the Museum. Tune in on Facebook Live each week to join the talk and ask our experts questions.
