This came from a NASA news release today, and I thought it looked interesting. Here’s what NASA has to say about it:<\/p>
This future aircraft design concept for supersonic flight over land comes from the team led by the Lockheed Martin Corporation.<\/p>
The team’s simulation shows possibility for achieving overland flight by dramatically lowering the level of sonic booms through the use of an “inverted-V” engine-under wing configuration. Other revolutionary technologies help achieve range, payload and environmental goals.<\/p>
This supersonic cruise concept is among the designs presented in April 2010 to the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate for its NASA Research Announcement-funded studies into advanced aircraft that could enter service in the 2030-2035 timeframe.<\/p><\/blockquote>
I wonder what it’s fuel consumption would be, and if something like this would be available for civilian traffic.<\/p>
