Summary

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet Jim "Clue" Less, a test pilot for the Quesst mission. His role is to fly the X-59 through the three phases of the mission and to contribute to the simulation and development of the aircraft. He 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.
