NASA: NASA’s X-59 Rollout Embodies Aeronautical Tradition
NASA
Fifty years ago, the United States prohibited commercial supersonic flight over land because of concerns about the noise generated by sonic booms. Today, however, Quesst’s technology could reduce this noise dramatically. The mission aims to gather data from the X-59 that could help regulators adjust the ban, basing revised rules on noise levels instead of speed.
