In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet Sonic Boom Technical Lead Larry Cliatt and learn about his role on the Quesst mission, leading acoustic validation, as well and his love of Legos! 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.
