NASA Tests Ground Recording Equipment for X-59’s Future Quiet Supersonic Flights
NASA ID: AFRC-2024-14068-3-CarpetDIEM3_VF

The third series of Carpet Determination in Entirety Measurements (CarpetDIEM) flights examined the quality of a new generation of ground recording system units. They also allowed NASA to test the operational procedures needed to deploy the recording systems and retrieve the data they collect. For the tests, NASA set up 10 ground recording system units over a 30-mile stretch of California desert. Using an F-15 and an F-18 from NASA Armstrong, the testing involved 20 supersonic passes with speeds ranging from Mach 1.15 to Mach 1.4 and at altitudes ranging from 40,000 feet to 53,000 feet. Three of the passes involved an F-18 conducting a special inverted dive maneuver to produce a quiet sonic boom, with ...more
