NASA Is Developing A Supersonic Jet

NASA announced it is currently developing a supersonic jet intended for commercial use. It will feature "boom reduction" technology to lessen the impact of the sonic boom heard from the ground when the aircraft flies overhead. Due to the noise created by the sonic boom, supersonic commercial air travel has been banned since 1971. -------------------------------------------------- Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68Zs Follow BI on Facebook: http://bit.ly/1W9Lk0n Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/ -------------------------------------------------- Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.
