This updated future aircraft design concept from NASA research partner
Lockheed Martin shows a few changes from another concept seen eight
images earlier in this gallery. It is a good example of how
simulations and wind tunnel tests, conducted over time, generate data
that tell researchers how to improve a design to achieve goals. The
goals for a future supersonic aircraft are to produce a much lower-
level sonic boom and to reduce emissions. The ultimate goal is to
achieve a low enough boom that a current ruling prohibiting supersonic
flight over land might be lifted.
