NASA will publicly test quiet supersonic technology in November

I don't understand. There's no way around the shockwave that occurs when you go transonic. You will break windows regardless of the shape of your plane.

The "quiet" doesn't mean there is no sonic boom. It's just a bit less loud.

I don't understand either, but they wouldn't be testing it if it was going to break people's windows.
