That sonic boom also represents wasted energy. If we can eliminate the sonic boom, perhaps fuel economy at supersonic speeds would go up.

“...gather data on human responses to the sound generated during supersonic flight.”

My response is “NO WAY IN HELL do I want to hear a THUMP!”

This jet will be a fuel hog, so why work on it when other parts of the SAME government are starting to say “End all jet travel because jet suck up fossil fuels, warm the planet, white supremacy air travel, blah, blah, blah.”

Unless this is John Kerry's new private globetrotting jet, I don't see the practical application for this design.

It doesn't seem scaleable for commercial passenger flights.

This aircraft will enable John Kerry to get to his climate change meetings faster.

Forward viz looks a bit restricted.

Canard, wing, and two sets of stabilizers on the tail. And a fuselage design that looks like it’s modified from a Constellation.

Hmm ..... maybe not a good idea to name the aircraft hanger “Stall”? 8-)

Will be more interested when they show the potential armaments it can carry next to it...

Looks like a forgotten Century Series concept.

Interesting return to the past... I have fond memories of several times having ATC tell me “You are number two for 36 Left following the Concord. Avoid wake turbulence! A memorable sight to this date!

This research could result in airplanes that could fly at Mach 1.6 with a range of around 6,000 nautical miles with very little sonic boom and engines that will meet ICAO Stage IV noise standards.

Why Mach 1.6 limit? I cite the following:

1. It means less thermal heating of the structure of the plane, so more composite materials can be used to keep the weight lower.
2. A Mach 1.6 limit means any sonic boom with such an advanced design will be very low indeed.
3. The plane don't need to run the engine with fuel-consuming reheat (neé afterburner) mode or very little use, which means higher fuel efficiency at supersonic speeds.

Both FlexJet and NetJets are very likely interested in such a plane. Both could order 40 planes for fractional ownership operations.
