NASA’s X-59 Supersonic Aircraft: The Quiet Crew | A Profile of Laura White

NASA’s X-59 Supersonic Aircraft: The Quiet Crew | A Profile of Laura White


In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you will meet Laura White, a mathematician working on the Commercial Supersonic Technology Project, supporting the Quesst mission. Her role is to help quantify statistics related to the loudness of the aircraft and the accuracy of simulations. She is part of the crew working to transform aviation as NASA and communities verify that the X-59’s quiet, supersonic design can turn a sonic boom into a sonic thump. 

This new technology, along with a potential change in regulations, will allow airliners to fly faster over land, cutting passenger travel time in half without disturbing people on the ground.  

The NASA Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is an aeronautical research center. Its primary campus is located inside Edwards Air Force Base in California and is considered NASA's premier site for aeronautical research.
