NASA test pilots performed the quiet supersonic dive maneuver off the coast of Galveston, Texas, creating a quieter version of the sonic boom to obtain recruited community survey feedback data. The test pilot climbed to around 50,000 feet, followed by a supersonic, inverted dive. This maneuver creates sonic boom shockwaves in such a way that they are quieter in a specific area. Meanwhile, NASA researchers match community feedback to the sound levels of the flights, using an electronic survey and microphone monitor stations on the ground. This is preparing NASA for community response models for the future X-59 QueSST.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA \/ Carla Thomas<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"display-block width-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"margin-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-cover-wrapper hds-image-carousel-slide margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Pilots prepare for SonicBAT mission.\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/afrc2016-0195-196_1.jpg?resize=900,600 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">NASA will fly its supersonic F\/A-18 jet over the Gulf of Mexico while researchers measure public response to the aircraft\u2019s noise in and around the coastal city of Galveston, Texas. The F\/A-18 pilot will fly a unique diving maneuver over the Gulf of Mexico that will result in the possibility of Galveston area residents hearing a quiet sonic \u201cthump\u201d instead of the loud and sometimes disruptive sonic booms historically associated with supersonic flight. NASA is recruiting via mail some 500 residents to participate in the two-week-long research activity. Participants will be asked to fill out a brief online survey several times each day about their impressions of any noise they hear from the F\/A-18 jet. Residents who participate for the full duration will be paid $50. The city of Galveston was selected because its coastal location enables the F\/A-18 to fly a supersonic maneuver that sends a quieter sonic \u201cthump\u201d toward Galveston and confines louder sonic booms to the open water of the Gulf of Mexico. NASA\u2019s nearby facilities at Ellington Field also will enable more efficient aircraft operations. NASA researchers will place sound-measuring equipment in and around Galveston to supplement the public response data. Locations will be selected based on research needs and approval from local authorities. To ensure public safety and awareness, NASA is cooperating with local, state and federal authorities and conducting an extensive public outreach initiative in support of this research. Results from this activity in Galveston will inform research methods for future community response surveys that will use NASA\u2019s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Technology aircraft. NASA\u2019s Low-Boom Flight Demonstration, which includes QSF18, is a comprehensive, scientifically-driven effort to provide U.S. and international regulators with statistically valid data that could result in new rules that allow commercial supersonic flight over land.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA \/ Lauren
