NASA's Quiet Supersonic Transport (QueSST) aircraft design passed a preliminary design review and is moving on to its next phase.
NASA has been developing new designs for supersonic aircraft, with a specific focus on reducing the strength of the sonic booms — the sound created by a shock wave from an aircraft that moves faster than the speed of sound. The shape and overall design of a supersonic plane are particularly important for minimizing the loudness of the boom during flight.
