How Sound Travels and the X-59

A benefit of NASA’s quiet supersonic research is to change noise regulations so that you and I could someday fly at supersonic speeds over land, reaching our destination in half the time. Watch this video to learn more about how sound travels and how the design of the X-59 takes into account the principles of sound.

We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents, and caregivers to the inspiring work NASA is doing. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth, and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.
