Supersonic flight is banned over populated areas. I'm not sure if it's from shattering windows or not.

- philrapo 11y agoIs there any reason you can't fly subsonic over land, then accelerate to supersonic over the ocean?
- davidad_ 11y agoSupersonic-capable aircraft tend to be absurdly fuel-inefficient when operating subsonic (for aerodynamic reasons I don't really understand).
