Supersonic Transport- A Vision Faster Than Sound    

# data[].attributes.body
A supersonic transport also refered to as "supersonics" (SST) or a supersonic airliner is a civilian aircraft designed to transport passengers at speeds greater than the speed of sound.

The idea of Supersonic Transport has been around for a long time, the idea to get the people to their destination at a speed faster than anyone could imagine.

In the year 1923 Captn. Chuck Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound in his aircraft the Bell X-1

For years, many aviators believed that man was not meant to fly faster than the speed of sound as the increasing drag due to high friction between the air and the plane would tear the aircraft apart.

Years after the first supersonic flight, The Concorde, which was developed jointly by the British and French governments, began commercial service on 21st January 1976.

The Concord is a British–French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated from 1976 until 2003. It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound, at Mach 2.04, with seating for 92 to 128 passengers.

It could fly transatlantic flights of very long distances in less than half the time of other flights.

Concorde aircraft were retired in 2003, three years after the crash of Air France Flight 4590, in which all passengers and crew were killed. This was the only fatal Concorde accident during its 27-year operational history.

According to news reports, United Airlines has announced it will purchase up to 50 Boom Overture supersonic jets for commercial use by 2029, heralding the return of supersonic passenger flights nearly 20 years after the Concorde was decommissioned.

NASA is beginning work on greener, safer and quieter Supersonic Jet for the future,all while developing aircraft that travel faster, and building an aviation system that operates more efficiently.

A sonic boom is a sound associated with shock waves created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding similar to an explosion or a thunderclap to the human ear.

Sonic Booms caused by airplanes takes the form of a double boom. The first boom is caused by the change in air pressure and the second boom is caused by the change in pressure that occurs when the tail of the plane passes and air pressure returns to normal.

Besides the ability to transport people faster than the speed of sound, supersonic aircraft can have a few flaws.

Supersonic flights produce a sonic boom (due to the aircraft being faster than the speed of sound . Moreover, supersonic airliners emit extreme noise on takeoff due their aerodynamics.

Sonic booms aren't just loud; they can also cause physical damage, breaking glass, cracking plaster, and shaking objects off shelves. A boom from a single fighter aircraft in 1966 dislodged tons of rock, crushing archaeological sites in the famous Canyon de Chelly National Monument.
