NASA’s F/A-18 testbed will be flown using a “quiet supersonic dive maneuver” to “aim quiet sonic thumps at a specific area.”
Starting in November, NASA’s F/A-18 testbed will be flown using a “quiet supersonic dive maneuver” to aim "quiet sonic thumps" at a community over Galveston to gauge residents' perception of the boom. (Photo: NASA)
