Although military aircraft were breaking the sound barrier daily during the 1950s and '60s, commercial passenger flights during this time remained limited to subsonic speeds. Now, several aircraft manufacturers and NASA are intent on ushering in a new era of supersonic commercial aviation. Kennedy announced plans to develop a U.S.

First versions of the engine chassis will be designed for use in urban delivery trucks and school buses. Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology.

Professor Kusunose’s group at Tohoku University in Japan verified that the Busemann biplane configuration reduces shock wave effects felt on the ground by 85%. For decades, the speed of commercial aircraft was constrained by the sound barrier. Conceptual drawing of a supersonic biplane in flight. Credit: Tohoku University.

Our lab, the Responsive Environments Group at MIT, has been working for well over a decade on embedding distributed sensor networks into flexible substrates. If the system functions as designed, we may even detect up to 20 micrometeoroid impacts across the fabric's 10-by-10-centimeter area. Allison Goode/Aegis Aerospace.
