NASA’s X-59 Supersonic Aircraft: The Quiet Crew | Profile of Jay Brandon

NASA’s X-59 Supersonic Aircraft: The Quiet Crew | Profile of Jay Brandon

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet NASA's X-59 chief engineer Jay Brandon and learn about his role coordinating the technical team for the X-59 as part of the Quesst mission. Throughout his career, Jay has flown more than 50 different types of aircraft. His experience as a pilot inspires his work as well as his music. He is part of the crew on a mission to transform aviation as NASA and communities in the U.S. 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.
