Now, lets spread the rumor that it’s for Melania to use to go to Europe to get her hair did, and watch the libs spontaneously combust on the spot. lol

[Regulator]

Fabulous

Exactly the kind of aeronautics prgm that NASA should be doing!

[Paladin2]

How do they do that?

With one of these?

[PapaBear3625]

If energy is not going into creating a sonic boom, then perhaps it will be more fuel efficient.

Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator (LBFD)

BOOM ping!

[wally_bert]

I’d want one.

[SgtHooper]

Another government Amtrak boondoggle? No, give it to the private sector, like Elon Musk!!

NASA HOPES TO FLY YOU FROM COAST TO COAST IN TWO HOURS FLAT WITH THIS BOOM-FREE SUPERSONIC JET

“”Future supersonic aircraft seeking to achieve a low-boom”

Do we really believe that China, Iran, or Russia care about the sonic boom on their jets used in combat?

[SgtHooper]

LOL! Except they’ll need to stop at every state along the way, resulting in a 10-hour flight.

[Yulee]

Is this the one that they plan to stack us like cordwood in for passenger service?

[onedoug]

No windows? No view at all?

Phooey!

[NorthMountain]

You do understand that this is an experimental aircraft, right? You do understand that its purpose is to test certain principles of aerodynamics, right? You do understand that it is not, nor is it intended to be, nor is it advertised as a civilian passenger aircraft or a military combat aircraft. Right?

You do understand that your "objections" are pointless and irrelevant.

Right?

[bunkerhill7]

Personally, I, Myself, would much rather prefer a High-Boom-Boom as opposed to a Low-Boom-Boom.

[Axenolith]

Jart!

[al baby]

[NorthMountain]

Post that to the buffoons who came up with the silly, irrelevant objections.
