This relates to another critical goal of this research and that's essentially to change aviation laws, right?
voice-verified
Now, there's a specific aviation law that says no civil aircraft over Mach 1 in US airspace without special authorization.
voice-verified
So that's a law.
voice-verified
So these researchers want to change that.
voice-verified
Ideally, I think if we could change that law or if they could change that law to say something like, you can go supersonic over land as long as what people on the ground hear stays below a certain decibel range, a loudness limit, if you will.
voice-verified
That's also one of their major goals here is to make that happen, to actually change these laws.
voice-verified
But then I'm thinking, well, what made sonic booms so bad?
voice-verified
What is it about them?
voice-verified
Why are they so bad?
voice-verified
So I definitely –
voice-verified
Took a dive and just learned as much as I could about what is actually happening here in these scenarios.
voice-verified
So to do that, let's start with subsonic flight first, right?
voice-verified
And then we'll just kind of work our way up.
voice-verified
So below the speed of light.
voice-verified
Wait, sorry.
voice-verified
That's force of habit, guys.
voice-verified
Below the speed of sound.
voice-verified
We're dealing with sound, not light.
voice-verified
So below the speed of sound, planes push air out of the way as they move.
voice-verified
And that creates these pressure waves, which is what?
