NASA’s The Quiet Crew | Matthew Zu

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet Matthew Zu, NASA's life support systems lead for the Quesst mission. Matthew immigrated to the U.S. from China when he was seven. In addition to being an engineer, he recently discovered oil painting and says it helps him build inspiration for his technical work. 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.
