Our August 10th meeting will be held at the Mariner’s Museum in Newport News where we will experience the Museum’s Shady Ladies of the Sea program. The Shady Ladies program consists of two parts: a docent guided tour of the Museum’s galleries during which women’s roles in maritime history are explored and a behind-the-scenes look at selected artifacts which help bring us closer to the events the women experienced. The Shady Ladies tour will begin at 11:00AM (Please plan on arriving at 10:45AM). We will gather in the Museum’s grand concourse just inside the main entrance. The tour will last 1 hour. At 12:00PM we will have boxed lunch prepared by the Museum’s Mariners’ Café. After lunch, 1:00PM, we will be led to an area where selected artifacts from the Museum’s collection will be displayed and their significance relating to the Shady Ladies theme explained. The artifacts exhibit will last 30 minutes.
You may attend any or all 3 activities (tour, lunch & artifacts exhibit). Make a reservation and select your lunch preferences by July 25th as partial payment for the Shady Ladies program is due 2 weeks before the tour (July 27th) and full payment for the lunches 1 week before. The Board is covering the fees for the tour and artifacts exhibit. Lunch costs $12 (collected your in the dining area). Spouses are encouraged to attend.
The lunch menu is:
1. Pulled Pork BBQ with slaw garnish and chips.

Chicken Salad Sandwich on wheat with chips.
Veggie Burger with chips
Beef Chili and Garden Salad
Southwest Chicken Salad with cheddar, black beans, corn and salsa.

All selections come with pickle, cookie and bottled water. The Café will try to meet your medical dietary needs.

Make your reservation here, If you are having trouble with the link send email to Dan Palumbo (dlpalumbo@live.com) and he will send you the questions in an email
Hope to see you there.

Sonic Booms & Community Testing:
NASA’s Role in Enabling Commercial Supersonic Overland Flight

Alexandra Loubeau
Co-Technical Lead of Community Testing
in NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Technology project
Continued interest in flying faster than the speed of sound has led researchers to develop tools and technologies for new generations of supersonic aircraft. One important aspect of these designs is that the sonic boom noise will be significantly reduced as compared to that of previous planes, such as the Concorde. Currently, U.S. and international regulations prohibit civil supersonic flight over land due to people’s annoyance with the impulsive sound of sonic booms. In order for regulators to consider lifting the ban and introducing a new rule for supersonic flight, surveys of the public’s reactions to the new sonic boom noise are required. To conduct these community overflight studies, NASA is building the X-59 QueSST, a quiet sonic boom demonstration research aircraft.
This presentation will discuss NASA’s role in sonic boom research and its plans for providing data to international regulators.
Alexandra Loubeau is a Research Aerospace Engineer at NASA Langley Research Center. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in Acoustics from Penn State and has been researching sonic boom acoustics since then. As a team co-lead for sonic boom community testing research at NASA, she is involved in the planning, execution, and analysis of experimental, modeling, and psychoacoustics research. Alexandra enjoys playing the violin, swimming, origami, and learning languages.
