Testing Recording Equipment for X-59’s Future Supersonic Flights
Watch this video to learn more about how NASA completed a series of tests to reduce risks prior to Phase 2 of its Quesst mission, which will test the ability of the X-59 experimental aircraft to make sonic booms quieter. During Phase 2, NASA will spread 70 ground recording stations over a 30-mile test site to record the quiet sonic thumps of the X-59.
