The quiet supersonic airplane that could let you fly faster than ever

A traditional supersonic aircraft can create a sonic boom in excess of 100 decibels when it flies, a sharp sound louder than a fireworks display. It was this disruptive sound that led the Federal Aviation Administration to ban commercial supersonic flight over land in 1973.

But the X-59 has been shaped to minimize the shock waves that cause a sonic boom midflight, reducing its sound at ground level to 75 decibels. According to NASA, that's about as loud as a car door slamming down the street.

That's awesome - but more awesome in silver, I think.

Looks like the Shell Station at the Gilmore Museum (Hickory Corners MI).

That's where my GTO is currently on display.

Yep, that is at the Gilmore.....my favorite Summer Time car venue.
It’s a wonderful museum and very well cared for. If you have never been to the Gilmore Museum. I highly recommend it.

Mystery Solved! The reason why this photo was taken was because Barris owned one of the two original Monkeemobiles that Dean Jefferies built. He did create a third one. Now . . . is this one of the originals or the one that Barris built? OK - it's not solved.

Three people in a two seat sports car going 150 MPH ……. Really.

Play with fire.

Is there a way to tell a Daytona or a Super Bird Hemi car from the outside?

Resonators before the exhaust tips. Only the Hemi cars used them:
