NASA’s The Quiet Crew | Laura White

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet Laura White, a mathematician working on the Commercial Supersonic Technology Project, supporting the Quesst mission. Her role is to help quantify statistics related to the loudness of the X-59 and the accuracy of simulations. She is part of the crew working to transform aviation as NASA and communities 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.
