Sound study of supersonic aircraft components
Scientists focus on engines wings and controls rather than full planes. Progress toward a pilot carrying supersonic aircraft comes from component work and from scaling up to full designs like the Bell XS-1 and the Douglas D-558 which holds the world speed record at 650 miles per hour. RAM jets and new materials such as ceramels promise fuel efficiency and heat resistance for speeds above 1 040 miles per hour.
