The design will be required to include new boom suppression technology to minimize noise pollution when flying faster than the speed of sound. The deal for the preliminary design of NASA\u2019s quiet supersonic technology program was announced on February 29. NASA\u2019s goal is to develop\u00a0a quieter supersonic jet transport for passenger service.\u00a0The\u00a0design calls for a\u00a0single engine\u00a0with\u00a0a vectored thrust exhaust system and a\u00a0delta wing. The aircraft cockpit would utilize an enhanced computerized vision system to allow pilots to fly the plane without requiring a forward looking wind shield. NASA wants Lockheed Martin\u00a0to start building the supersonic plane by\u00a02019, with test\u00a0flights beginning the following year. Acoustic surveys would be required to over turn the decades old ban on super sonic passenger flights over land.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-781\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Lockheed-Martin-300x133.jpg\" alt=\"Lockheed Martin\" width=\"627\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Lockheed-Martin-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Lockheed-Martin.jpg 661w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lockheed Martin has been picked by NASA to design a new supersonic airplane.
