Will NASA’s X-59 meet its 75-PLdB target in the acoustic-validation report?

Question

This market will resolve YES if NASA’s first completed X-59 acoustic-validation campaign reports a representative ground-level sonic-thump measurement of 75 perceived-level decibels or less. Use the nominal or central value identified by NASA as the campaign result, not the quietest isolated pass.

PLdB is the specified unit. Cabin noise, dBA, simulations and measurements of an F-18 used to rehearse the instruments are excluded. If NASA gives a range without a central value, YES requires the ent
