Low Boom Flight Demonstrator Briefing
Panelists Peter Iosifidis, program manager, Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, left, Peter Coen, project manager, Commercial Supersonics Technology Project, Langley Research Center, NASA, center, and Dr. Ed Waggoner, program director, Integrated Aviation Systems Program, NASA, right, are seen behind a model of the Low Boom Flight Demonstrator at a briefing, Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at NASA Headquarters in Washington. This new experimental x-plane is aimed at testing new technologies that will reduce sonic booms to a mild thump. This breakthrough could lead to approval to fly across the country at supersonic speeds. This would cut travel times in half by flying, enabling travel from New York to Los Angeles in two hours.
