    In 1943, Theodor Von Karman, in response to a request by US Air Force headquarters, claimed that the realization of a supersonic aircraft would have been doable using the right technology and tools. The fear of breaking the "sound barrier" was finally removed in 1947, when the Captain Yaeger flew the Bell X-1 at a speed slightly above Mach 1 for few seconds, producing the famous and long-awaited sonic boom (caused by an impulsive pressure change created by the sonic waves detaching from the aircraft)

    Characteristic studies of supersonic diffuser with various ramp design and optimization of ramp profile Objective: The main idea behind the proposed project is to decrease the pressure loss at the supersonic diffusers with the help of varying the conventional ramp design. Three different ramp profiles (Sharp edged conic section, Blunted conic section and Ogive conic section) are optimized for the particular inlet Mach number. The efficient design for the supersonic compression process is to be obtained

    crumbling buildings and killing animals. Sonic booms are created when an object goes faster than the speed of sound, or supersonic, which causes the sound waves to overlap. This overlapping forms a cone behind the object, called the sonic cone, where there is an abundance of energy. The impact of this energy can have the same force as a wrecking ball. It is illegal to fly at supersonic speeds near land without permission as the boom can shatter windows, crumble concrete, and implode the eardrums of

    Shawn Merrick-Miller     Ryan Cilsick     Science Research      12/20/16            The importance of reducing the intensity of a sonic boom is essential to making supersonic flight a possibility for passenger aircraft over land. Currently, supersonic flight over land in the US is prohibited by the FAA due to the annoyance associated with the sonicboom to people (observers) on the ground. The advancement of sonic boom reduction could lead to the advancement in the way we travel around the world

    of luxury passenger aircraft. The plane ultimately resulted in failure, which is why it got retired and there are no subsequent models of Supersonic commercial aircraft today. The Concorde was a failure because it was not economically viable, it had limited usage, and it did not keep up with the rest of the industry. When it comes to the economics supersonic flight, there are obvious incentives. A plane that can make a route in less than half the time of a regular subsonic aircraft can effectively
