During the fall of 2019, a trio of free webinars were presented by NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and the National Space Grant Program. They were produced by Old Dominion University at their studio in Norfolk, Virginia.
Each of the sessions featured conversations with NASA researchers who are working on key areas of interest that will help reinvent aviation for the rest of the 21st century. In addition to the technical aspects of their work, they also discussed their educational and career paths.
Students and faculty at universities in the United States and around the world watched the webinars live online and were able to ask questions of the participants.
In this webinar, NASA’s work to enable commercial supersonic air travel over land through research using the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology aircraft, now under construction in California, was discussed by NASA researchers Mary Stringer and Corey Diebler, both from NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia. Scott Tarry, director of the Nebraska Space Grant Consortium, moderated the session.
