Supersonic flight has the potential to cut travel times in half; however, community annoyance to sonic booms led to the ban on overland commercial supersonic flight by the Federal Aviation Administration in 1973. As part of its Quesst mission, NASA is developing the X-59 aircraft to demonstrate quiet supersonic flight and collect dose-response data to inform regulators in their efforts to establish noise standards to replace the current supersonic speed limit. This talk presents an overview of the NASA Quesst mission and poses some challenges in collecting and analyzing X-59 dose-response data. For the upcoming community flight campaign, the noise dose is the loudness of a supersonic overflight of the X-59 and the perceptual response from participants is captured via surveys after the flyover events. Establishing a relationship between noise dose and perceptual response will be a key product of these efforts.
