I didn't see any data on the loudness of the sonic boom. Isn't an important part of the idea here to diminish that significantly?

- blktiger 2y agoI think you are confusing Boom with NASA’s QUESST project. https://www.nasa.gov/mission/quesst/ https://www.nasa.gov/mission/quesst/
- ballooney 2y agoThe GP isn’t, a major part of Boom’s initial PR was that they’d enable domestic supersonic by solving the sonic boom issue through technology. Over the years aviation watchers have suggested they might have failed at that and are looking to solve it through spending VC money on lobbyists to allow noisy supersonic overflights.
