NASA Rehearses Noise Measurement Procedures for X-59 Quiet Supersonic Aircraft — Global Defense Insight

NASA has completed a critical flight rehearsal at its Armstrong Research Center. This rehearsal prepares NASA for the acoustic testing phase of its supersonic X-59. The rehearsal supports Phase 2 of the Quesst mission. It is focused on refining the systems and methods that will be used to measure the sound footprint of the X-59. X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft, will begin its flight tests later this year. The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA’s Que…

Supersonic aircraft generate a series of shock waves that merge by crossing the sound barrier, generating a great noise. Supersonic aircraft drag these incredibly loud sounds along their flight path, creating noise levels that even below, on the surface, are strong. This has prevented the widespread deployment of commercial supersonic flights on land. However, solving the noise problem could allow them and could easily reduce the flight time for…
