Bear in mind that despite carefully worded PR, "Boomless cruise" is 1) not guaranteed to be "boomless" 2) is much slower than would make all the rigmarole of supersonic flight worth it even when it is "boomless".
- nomel 10mo agoI'm not sure how that matters. A sonic boom in a phenomenon not an SPL reading. The goal should be to have a direct metric for how loud/how much it disturbs things is. "boomless" and "speed" aren't a direct metric. If someone makes a sonic boom that's quiet enough, that's fine too.
- filleduchaos 9mo agoI'm not sure how to respond to this because it's really just ignoring what I said entirely (maybe due to a lack of context?) and instead responding to things that I didn't say. "Supersonic for supersonic's sake" makes no sense.
