Supersonic travel over the continental U.S. has been banned for more than 50 years. However, NASA’s X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) test aircraft, which should fly for the first time later this year, aims to change that through a host of advanced technologies to make supersonic booms much quieter and less disruptive. “When this mission is successful and we change this ban,” says NASA’s Cathy Bahm, “it will be transformative for the aviation community and it will change what it means for business travel.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Cathy Bahm, project manager on NASA’s Low Boom Flight Demonstrator Project
- Lori Ozoroski, project manager of NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Technology Project
