1 00:00:03,649 --> 00:00:01,730 really what a shockwave is is an 2 00:00:05,749 --> 00:00:03,659 instantaneous change in pressure and so 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:05,759 that change of pressure papa gates 4 00:00:09,379 --> 00:00:07,290 through the air from the aircraft down 5 00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:09,389 to the ground and our ears hear that and 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:27,690 this is the crew brief for since moved 7 00:00:32,190 --> 00:00:30,970 type 1 objectives for today is the 8 00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:32,200 real-time this is why I had the talk 9 00:00:41,189 --> 00:00:33,700 with Ralph's footprint in the rear 10 00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:41,199 cockpit of the f-18 we have 7 different 11 00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:42,430 recorders out in the field that we'll be 12 00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:45,460 using and we want to you know to record 13 00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:47,440 sonic booms and I will be the one 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:48,910 communicating with the control room 15 00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:49,930 communicating with the rest of the 16 00:01:08,910 --> 00:00:53,440 project team as to the test points that 17 00:01:13,780 --> 00:01:12,130 that's affirmative then I repeat so my 18 00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:13,790 role is running the backseat and I have 19 00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,680 a tablet display is where the boom is 20 00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:17,360 saying the ground I'm giving the pilot 21 00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:20,150 feedback on speed up slow down just sort 22 00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:22,310 of get the boom where we you want to get 23 00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:24,230 your flight path in the right place in 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:26,630 in space the scientists of course want 25 00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:28,490 this as accurately as possible we've got 26 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:31,880 GPS receivers measuring things within at 27 00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:34,640 least 10 feet we aren't gonna hit 10 28 00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:37,100 feet accuracy every time except if we're 29 00:01:41,740 --> 00:01:39,380 lucky but we get as most as many of the 30 00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:41,750 parameters as close as we can the 31 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:44,300 scientists can work the data out and see 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:46,970 how see how we did but more importantly 33 00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:48,410 see how the algorithm did and see 34 00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:49,960 whether the displays working correctly 35 00:01:57,550 --> 00:01:54,380 three copies join 1.3 36 00:01:59,649 --> 00:01:57,560 over there this is the cockpit display 37 00:02:01,300 --> 00:01:59,659 for the cockpit interactive sonic boom 38 00:02:03,940 --> 00:02:01,310 display avionics or missus boomed up 39 00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:03,950 start to generate all the impact area 40 00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:05,990 where the Senate booms hit on the ground 41 00:02:08,859 --> 00:02:08,390 over here we had a bunch of sensors on 42 00:02:11,290 --> 00:02:08,869 the lakebed 43 00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:11,300 to measure the effect of the sonic games 44 00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:15,350 and for the tests we were looking at how 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:18,350 the real-time display predicts the 46 00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:20,690 senate food where it hits when it hits 47 00:02:24,370 --> 00:02:22,790 and the intensity of the boom let's show 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:24,380 them how the colors and we compare that 49 00:02:31,059 --> 00:02:26,090 to measurements on the ground look you 50 00:02:33,009 --> 00:02:31,069 got one we got one test point complete 51 00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:33,019 we did see is open house we're good to 52 00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:36,430 see the next row 53 00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:38,020 and that's fast we're gonna do what we 54 00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:40,390 call our low boom dive I'm familiar with 55 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:43,000 it but the aircraft actually flies at 56 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:44,080 about forty nine thousand feet 57 00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:46,870 subsonically does a dive an inverted 58 00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:49,300 dive to meet supersonic speeds and then 59 00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:51,280 recovers that's our little Bing dive if 60 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:52,510 we use it a lot in our testing to 61 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:53,730 simulate 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:02:56,250 demonstrator a living aircraft might 63 00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:09,530 copy mark would PC boom and says boom 64 00:03:12,770 --> 00:03:11,190 does to compete where the booms going 65 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:12,780 the knock number of the aircraft you 66 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:14,850 have a certain shape of Mach cone kind 67 00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:17,370 of like a way coming off a motorboat 68 00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:19,110 would be a shaped wake but in an 69 00:03:33,730 --> 00:03:29,800 starting with Bravo please report what 70 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:33,740 you heard so we're trying to do is 71 00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:35,930 design aircraft that produce quieter 72 00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:37,550 fine guns or as we're calling them low 73 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:42,830 booms we're able to do that hopefully we 74 00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:44,570 can get some of the regulations change 75 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:48,830 so that we can have sonic booms over
