NASA’s The Quiet Crew | Kurt Long

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet Aerospace Engineer, Kurt Long. You’ll learn about his role developing the X-59's life support systems and his love for adventure and extreme vacations. He is part of the crew on a mission to transform aviation as NASA and communities work together to 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.
