    This looks a lot like what boom supersonic is doing. Very cool stuff.

    Honestly, it’s shocking how much we still don’t understand about supersonic flight, it’s fantastic that this research is being done out in the open, not just by the military in secret.

    We banned lawn darts because the US didn’t want anyone to steal their idea for the next plane. All jokes aside this thing looks really cool!
