NASA Tests Ground Recording Equipment for X-59’s Future Quiet Supersonic Flights
*Edit: During Quesst Phase 2, NASA will spread 70 ground recording stations over a 30-mile test site to record the quiet sonic thumps of the X-59.
NASA recently completed a series of tests to reduce risks prior to Phase 2 of its Quesst mission, which will test the ability of the X-59 experimental aircraft to make sonic booms quieter. The third series of Carpet Determination in Entirety Measurements (CarpetDIEM) flights examined the quality of a new generation of ground recording system units. They also allowed NASA to test the operational procedures needed to deploy the recording systems and retrieve the data they collect. For the tests, NASA set up 10 ground recording system units over a 30-mile stretch of California desert. Using an F-15 and an F-18 from NASA Armstrong, the testing involved 20 supersonic passes with speeds ranging from Mach 1.15 to Mach 1.4 and at altitudes ranging from 40,000 feet to 53,000 feet. Three of the passes involved an F-18 conducting a special inverted dive maneuver to produce a quiet sonic boom, with one getting as quiet as 67 perceived level decibels (PLdB). The testing also validated the use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, ADS-B, an existing technology flown on all commercial aircraft and most private aircraft to report speed and position, to trigger the GRS units to begin recording.

    I would love to be a test pilot, but the only conceivable way to achieve such a role would be to do it through the military. Back when I was eligible to be a military pilot, the eyesight requirements and other standards were too stringent for me. I would, however, love the opportunity to get involved with the test pilot work today. I just don’t know how that can be possible.

    Dear Nasa and Nasa recipients The "Marry Go Round (MGR) experiment" You Johny, and Danny are playing on MGR A and B. Johny is standing on MGR A and danny is standing on MGR B. MGR B is sitting atop MGR A. Both MGRs get spun in the same direction. This experiment is decribe the difference between expansion and speed. You are the origin for Johny' speed and Johny is the origin for Danny's speed. What does Johny have speed in reference to~ you? Yes you are completely relative to his position. Thus Johny is relative to Danny's position not you; because you have no force enacting on Danny. Why does Danny move faster than Johny when the same amount of force is enacting upon them? I'll tell you why It's because Danny is expanding away. You see Danny has his own limit of speed; Johny can spin Danny as fast as light moves because Johny is Danny's origin. Plasma is timeless but vacuums the first state of matter are densless. Speed becomes fourth dimensional in a vacuum. Solids can store this extra dimension of speed really well because they hold shape. This is called inertial force. Expansion can easily be engineered in the same way the marry go round experiment does it. Lets say you create an electrical magnetic force inside a coil spun in the shape of a solo cup. the electical magnetic charge is conected to a casing with coils of the same device in mulitple sequences until you reach the expidition ship. Now of course you would have to allow the coil to be hot for anything to happen but you begin to expand at a rate greater than the speed of light and possibly even faster. Whats the problem; we have a limitation of devices. This is as far as i can take us into the future thank you. Sincerely-Ronald Braden Russell

    48:52 - Very stupid statements. John Glenn was not born in the mid-20s. You clearly did not have to be born in 1930. Al Shepard was born in 1923, and he was not too old to walk on the Moon. Why would this author say such things that are blatantly wrong, which anyone can disprove by a quick glance at Wikipedia? What a bizarre thing for him to say. And to think about how many times he has given this talk, and the many opportunities he had to correct himself, let alone all the people he's said this to who could have corrected him.

      51:05 - yet another strange statement. How bout this for a fact... Commanders for Apollo 8 Apollo 9 Apollo 10 ...were ALL AIR FORCE test pilots. An argument can be made that the missions leading up to the first landing mission were more critical than the ones that came after. (Remember that JFK's goal was to just land a man on the Moon, and return him safely.)

    A neat way to steer the model would be to torque the wing by the tips - the twist would be distributed along the wing with most of it near the tips (because that party has least rigidity) - so perfect to get proverse jaw. Servos could be installed in the fuselage and would connect through beams to the wing tip (could run inside tubular wing spars maybe).

    Might want to also consider sailboats. They have a separate centerboard and rudder. Won’t sail controllably if either is absent. Centerboard resists side slip, and rudder provides yaw moment. The vertical tail in a plane characteristically comprises the vertical stabilizer (immovable) and rudder (movable). Thus, the airplane tail has two distinct and unique structural elements with different yet essential functions.
