It’s been over 20 years since the last Concorde flight, and now engineers are working to bring back passenger supersonic flights.

Peter Coen, Integration Manager for NASA’s Quesst mission, talks about the agency’s work to quieten the sonic boom that planes make and what he thinks the future of supersonic flight will look like.
