How It Works
Although air travel is almost
always the fastest means
of travel, many would like
it to become even faster.
Although the technology exists
for aircraft to fly at speeds
faster than the speed of
sound, sonic booms limit this
capability. To help
lessen the impact of these
booms, NASA researchers are
attempting to find way to
help aircraft move faster
than the speed of sound without
causing disruptions on the
ground.
